Can you name the best-known poker player in your country?

 

[Ogma]

Andy Black aka "The Monk". ($5 million winnings)

Steve O'Dwyer is from the states but plays under the Irish flag, He's one of the best players on the planet. Legendary player.

 

[Wega85]

Daniel Negreanu canada

 

[Marshmalo1994]

Nacho Barbero is a legend, and he had great results this year.
"Papo" Lecoco is also having great results, and is a pokerstars player.
And maybe Sergio Aguero (? 😅

 

[LaNimmer]

Daniel Negreanu, Canada. There are many more but he is the most famous.

Sam Trickett back in the day but don't think he plays much now so would have to go with Stephen Chidwick who plays all the Triton HR events known as Stevie444 legend MTT online player.

 

[Miyagi not miyaji]

I think it's between Andre Akkari and Yuri "TheNerdGuy" Martins.

with Yuri's results, he is gonna be #1 soon

I like Maria Lampropulos. It was hilarious watching her messing with Maurice Hawkins' head during the PCA

Can you name the best-known poker player in your country?

To be honest, I don't really care about other players, no matter what country they are from. I can only name one player who is important to me. It is me

 

[Rory59]

Daniel Negreanu, Canada. There are many more but he is the most famous.

Don’t know about that, Soyboy Griffin Benger made quite the impression during that hand against Kassouf. I am a 100% patriot, but in this case, I was rooting for Will to get that King

 

[Rachidao]

Yuri from brazil.

 

[ztibor72]

Perhaps the best is Kwaysser-Waldemár Ákos "Luigi" - wsop winner
The most successful András Koroknai - WSOP Los Angeles winner
Hungary

 

[Spielkind]

Fedor Holz --germany

I don't know . I think we Greeks have no big name , at least nowadays . Very few had big wins in SM or else , but that's all
. Or at least that's my impression of Greek poker players .

 

[GDKavindu]

The only one I know is Upeksha de Silva but born in Sri Lanka and raised in America. A three-time WSOP bracelet winner but he was more popular after this incident.'' brilliant hero call against Holz

 

[O_Mago718]

Andre Akkari 🇧🇷
Phil Ivey 🇺🇸

 

[Mag_P1e]

Maybe I won’t name the most famous player, but it seems to me that one of them is Andrey “BabyShark” Kozlenko. He is a fairly well-known streamer, and is also a member of our country’s sports poker team.

I found an article on the Internet about the best poker players in the history of Ukraine and he was in first place.

Yevhen Kachalov
All-time earnings: $9,242,219
Place in the overall rating: 106
Best Achievement: WSOP Herd Gold Bracelet (2011)
Evgeny is a native of Kyiv, but, like many on our list, he and his family moved to the United States as a child. Kachalov began to be fond of e-sports and often played WarCraft, but at the age of 20 he actively plunged into poker.

Kachalov's main achievement is winning the world series of poker event in 2011. True, Yevgeny's biggest skid came in 2007, when the Ukrainian triumphed at the prestigious Doyle Brunson Classic tournament.

This allowed him to raise $2.5 million. The best poker player in the history of Ukraine has not won prizes for three years, and recently he unsuccessfully competed at the Ukrainian Poker Championship.

The Beautiful Liv Boeree, Jake Cody, Toby Lewis and of course There are a number of great players from the Hendon mob, Then you have Sam Trickett, Dave Ulliot (Devilfish) Roland De Wolfe Just to name a few.
