We know that a good stock trader is most likely to be a good poker player.
Does anybody know a successful pro poker player or players who later become a successful stock trader or traders?

If I'm not mistaken Dan Harrington is a stock broker of some sort.

At the final table of the main event when he took it down he offered a deal after every elimination, even offering free investment counseling to all other players, promising fortune to everyone, though everyone always disagreed since it was a once in a lifetime chance to play for $1m
