Wow the amounts of money they won in total is extremely unbelievable! I would love to be able to play poker that well to be able to win that kind of money, that is just breath taking for me! They do deserve every cent though, they are highly skilled and they know what they are doing and they deserve recognition for their skills and some of them don't get enough.

#1. Joseph Cada $8,546,435.00
#2. Darvin Moon $5,182,601.00
#3. Antoine Saout $3,479,485.00
#4. Eric Buchman $2,502,787.00
#5. Jeff Shulman $1,953,395.00
#6. Steven Begleiter $1,587,133.00
#7. Phil Ivey $1,404,002.00
#8. Kevin Schaffel $1,300,228.00
#9. James Akenhead $1,263,602.00
That is some serious cash!

With that kind of money for being at the last table then maybe I should stop searching to learn other poker variants and instead focus on perfecting my hold em skills so that I can one day (even if in my dreams lol) get good enough to be in the wsop. That kind of money I wouldn't even need a full time job, it would be poker, that's cool. Unfortunately for me it would take years upon years to ever get that great I think, surely some of these poker pros were born to be poker players.

Prize money like that is what would certainly help to make all that hard work and long hours of practice and perfecting strategies all worth it. Poker pro players don't have it easy. Too many people think that these people are purely just real lucky, how they are so very wrong because I don't believe that it is out of luck at all, I believe that they work real hard to get to where they are today and that people shouldn't try to take away from that by saying that they are "Just Lucky".
