Royal Flush Poker

Poker Pro Phil Laak was born on September 8th 1972 in Ireland and now predominantly lives in California, although he spends a lot of time in Las Vegas too.

He plays in a number of major live ladbrokes poker tournaments each year but he continues to be more of a cash game specialist despite having some success at the WPT in recent years.

His poker pro nickname is the ‘Unabomber’ and was given to him due to his habit of tightening the drawstrings of his hooded top during big hands to just leave his sunglasses showing, this is one of a few interesting traits Phil shows whilst playing poker. He is dating actress and fellow poker professional Jennifer Tilly and has had a few television appearances himself, both in televised poker events and in a show called ‘I Bet You’. www.ladbrokespoker.com

Phil Laak has always been an intrueging character at the poker tables and excels at cash games although it would be easy to imagine him picking his first WSOP bracelet and maybe another WPT title too, over the next few years.

By playing and practicing at Ladbrokes Poker (ladbrokespoker.com) you too could be the next big poker pro!

To the casual viewer he may perhaps come across as slightly arrogant but I don’t feel that this is the case really, I think Mike just enjoys winding his opponents up a little bit and engaging in some sparring of the verbal kind whilst the real poker battle is taking place on the felt.

Mike Matusow was born in Los Angeles in 1968 and it is well documented that he has always had a strong competitive streak and enjoyed many hobbies where he could compete with others.

It wasn’t until later though that he discovered poker, which quickly became his primary outlet for his need to compete and succeed against others. Mike spent some time working as a poker card dealer and used this to his advantage whilst developing his pkr.com game, going on to compete and win in local pkr.com tournaments, from there he continued to move up the ladder until eventually in 1997 he entered his first WSOP event in Omaha, Mike had a great tournament and finished 2nd place to the great Scotty Nguyen and his poker career has grown on from there.

Finishing second place in that poker event lead to Mike later winning two World Series bracelets for first place finishes in the following years and claiming the 2005 WSOP tournament of champions title too.

Mike Matusow also finished 9th place in the main poker pro event that year, and finished 6th in 2001, which, considering the size of the field of players, is an outstanding achievment so look out for Mike Matusow at major upcoming tournaments, and if you can’t see him anywhere, try listening out instead, and you might just have more luck.

www.pkr.com is second to none in terms of graphics and user experience. If you want to be a Poker Pro just like Mike Matusow, there is no better place to refine your skills than at pkr.com.

Scotty Nguyen was born on October 28th 1962 in South Vietnam, he moved to America in 1974 and began earning his living as a card dealer there.  CLICK HERE to register as a new player at pokerstars.com and you could be just like Scotty and turn into a WSOP pro!

With this line of employment came the opportunity to watch good poker players in action, and Scotty paid close attention before beginning to try his hand at the game himself. After time spent honing his skills at smaller games, he moved up to bigger tables and before long, was supporting his family from his poker playing with relative ease, as his talent continued to grow.

It was only a matter of time before Scotty made the journey to the World Series and once he did, it didn’t take long for him to make his mark, as he went on to win the 1998 main event in what was one of pokers truly magic moments. After moving all in against his opponent Kevin McBride he declared ‘You call it’s gonna be all over baby’ which his opponent promptly did, losing to Scottys full house.

It took Scotty until 2006 however to win a WPT event and become one of only a handful of people to hold a WPT title as well as being a World Series main event winner, the 2007 main event wasn’t far away from bringing Scotty his 2nd main event title too as he managed to finish in 11th place out of a field of over 6,000 players. For now however he will have to be happy with his 4 bracelets and tournament earnings estimated at over $7,000,000 which is an excellent poker career thus far by anyones standards.

Scotty still competes in many tournaments every year and so you can be sure that those previously mentioned figures will grow further still, as the charismatic, ever smiling Scotty Nguyen, continues to elevate his name to being amongst the all time greats of the game.
