Not too familiar with professional poker. So some guys I do not know. But if we evaluate for the contribution to development, it is strange that in the rating there is no old Doyle Brunson.

Well , if you want to make a list with the best players , undoubtfully the first (and maybe the last) thing to take into consideration is the money they won , so of course this list is right , but for sentimental reasons I would put after Neagreanu 2nd Phil Ivey together with Phil Helmuth , in the place of Eric Seidel :) :)

@Ivansito26, some of players in your list have strong arguments, but other like Maria Ho, Lex Veldhaus and Victoria Coren can be called a strong player at best, and in most line ups would be considered as marks.

I think Seidel has one of the most impressive resumes. He is battling much younger guys. Always does well in the big high rollers.
Surprised to see Bonomo off the list. he is having the craziest year ever.

I agree with the aforementioned list, but I would like some day to have my name on the list of at least 20 with the best profit :)

But my list would be the following:
obviously in the first place Daniel Negreanu for being the one who won more and for being the only one as the article says in having won the bracelets of the World Series of Las Vegas, Europe and Australia.
2 ° Phil Ivey; for being one of the ones I know the most
would leave in the list to the following 7 in the article
and finally put Stu Ungar, which is no longer alive but was or rather was a promise for poker, his nickname was "The Kid"
and as I said before I would add to Guicor30 :)
I think with a banckroll I could play higher limits and win good prizes

This is such a subjective question to me because I would use the last 12 months and not restrict it to simply winnings. Someone who plays 5 tournaments and gets to 5 FT's should be higher than someone who played 30 tournaments, won one but more money than the 5 FT's that the other player made.

So my list:

1) Justin Bonomo
2) Fedor Holz
3) Kristen Bicknell
4) Mike Leah
5) Daniel Negreanu
6) Antonio Esfandari
7) Phil Hellmuth
8) Stephen Chadwick
9) John Hennigan
10) Shawn Deeb

I will list the players based on what I think is most important to be a poker player, boldness and joy, without fear of being happy with wisdom.

1. Tom Dwan
2. Phil Ivey
3. Patrik Antonius
4. Tonkaaaa in my opinion this player is one of the best because in online poker he destroys.
5. Phill Helmuth
6. Andre Akari
7. Vanessa Selbest
8. John Juanda This guy is too good and could not stay off this list.
9. Antonio Esfandiari
10. Chris MoneyMaker

Well this is my opinion on this particular subject, I wish I could have the best of each one of them.

I am satisfied with the criteria adopted in this list the gains say a lot can not be by chance this. Now, using the win criteria and adding my criteria, I would put Ivey rm first and
Daniel in second in third place would be Antonio Esfandiari himself and in fourth place the White magic the rest of the players would not know how to arrange them then, it could be in your discretion.

One player I find simply brilliant that by impulses not on this list is Tom Dwan.
If he had focused stabilized mentally he would certainly be 40 million.
Of course, the list is formed by names of respect.

Most poker professionals opt for cash games. It was there that the following professionals earned their millions in the pokerstars and Full Tilt portals:

1. Phil Ivey
He plays at the age of 16, now he is 38 years old. The first big win came to him at the wsop tournament, he won about $ 200,000.

2. Patrick Antonius
In 2009, he was ahead in the heads-up session with a prize fund of $ 1.5 million of Viktor Bloom himself. Then Patrick on Full Tilt won almost $ 16 million.

3. Phil Galfond
Started playing in the partypoker portal, quickly became a professional and was able to win $ 2 million in one day.

4. Dan Cates
He earned $ 10 million in cash games.

5. Dee Dang
Playing on the portal Full Tilt. Little is known about him. For today the balance is equal to 8,5 million $.

6. Huck Dang
He's Dee Dang's brother. I earned more than $ 7 million. With a brother in online poker are strong rivals.

7. Ben Tollerin
He is 23 years old, but on account already a considerable amount - $ 6.5 million.

8. Brian Hastings
Poker became interested in mathematics - the theory of relativity ... Today has a considerable amount - $ 6 million.

9. Rafi Amit
In 2005, at the WSOP, he won first place. More than 5.5 million dollars earned.

10. Ashton Griffin
Ashton used to be poor, but Poker helped him to become rich. On his account now more than $ 5.5 million.

I don't know about the top 10 but the #1 tournament player in the world right now is pretty easy, Justin Bonomo.

He has the all-time lead in tournament winnings now ahead of Daniel and at a much younger age. Sky is the limit.
