He's ill? What happened to him? I didn't know, best wishes for him, he's a legend !

the best player in the word is Phil Hellmuth. is an American professional poker player who has captured a record thirteen world series of poker bracelets.

Brunson was the king of his era along with Amarillo,then came Chip,Chan,and Ungar.I think they were all the ones that pioneered this sport,and kept it alive at very critical times and made it what it is today.

ME!

just kidding, Phil Ivey, Phil Laak, Phil Hellmuth, just every Phil

kangaroo92 · Mar 28, 2015

Arslan_1993 · Apr 6, 2015

Stu Ungar - three time world champion!

I change my answer, I would have to say Dexter. Jamaican prodigy introduced by Daniel Negreanu:

Stu Ungar best from the best

Lots of great answers, and there are good arguments for all of them. For me, I'm probably looking at it from the perspective of "what do those in the know think", and many of them will say nobody was in the same class as Chip for cash games, and Stu Ungar for tournaments, though he's also widely regarded as the best gin rummy player ever as well.

That said, there are a lot of great players today as well, especially with how much online poker has grown.

I agree with an earlier poster in that it would have been nice to see how Stuey would have fared against modern competition (he'd be 61 today).

Chip Reese
Stu Ungar
Doyle Brunson
Phil Ivey
Daniel Negreanu

Best players of All-time

Tourneys = Stu ungar

Cash = Patrick Antonious

Overall = Ivey

w8888 · Apr 11, 2015

Probably Phil Ivey, though Daniel Negreanu is amusing to watch.

EvertonGirl · Apr 11, 2015

Dan The Man Negreanu and Phil Ivey, could watch them all day.

milesaway0 · Apr 11, 2015

I like negreanu... sometimes his mouth helps him but usually it seems like it helps his opponents out more, and is that guy psychic or what??!!

crazyangel88 · Apr 11, 2015

xastaria · Apr 17, 2015

Most of pro players are great!theirs bankroll can prove it!I can't pick only one!here is a link of a documentary about Stu Ungar (he was great player) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pt2AOIz1wk&spfreload=10

joe777 · Apr 17, 2015

Phil Hellmuth and Tom Dwan.

Xmaster · Apr 17, 2015

Daniel Negreanu. Unbelievale how he can read his opponents.. I also like Durrr, you never know, what hand he has.

apatto2 · Apr 17, 2015

I agree with BiliousBetil, Chip was the BEST

_xrolex_90 · Apr 23, 2015

Everyone is good in its.After all, every poker player is individuality,but if we consider the professional players, I like to watch Vanessa Selbst ,Liv Boeree,Daniel Negreanu.Maybe it's too corny, but I love these guys
