Who are the poker players that you never hear about anymore?

19aleks57 · Apr 17, 2025

In my opinion, there are many reasons why we don’t see poker legends, first of all, it’s physical condition, the game takes a lot of strength and energy, and players have no time to stop because of tight tournament schedules, the second reason is when a smart player, having earned enough, understands that health is more important and there are other entertainments in life.

Don't hear so much about Isildur1 Exploits anymore.

For more obvious reasons:

Howard Lederer
Chris Ferguson

Many don't remember Heinz's victory in the wsop Main Event. However, he was one of the first Germans to make a name for himself when he won his second career 1000 ITM in 2011, for $8.7 million in the World Series. Since then, he simply decided to retire. He played in only nine events over the next few years, earning $9 million in live tournaments—his last was in 2016.

Annie Duke. For good reasons.

Unfortunately, she is still fooling some people in other sectors outside poker.

this is so disappointing because I really liked her. and her brother the professor .

A typical example of how you can be sexy without being beautiful.

Viktor Blom. An interesting, bright young player. A legend.

Wow! A real blast from the past, thanks guys.
I enjoyed reading about all my favourites.

Since I'm not following anyone particular I'll go down the lane with my own nationality.

Luka Vidovic. He is not professional. I was once with him at the table 10+ years ago. He has two registered results at Hendon Mob which were in 2010 and 2017 played locally in Zagreb.

Hi folks,

round about 20 years ago i was getting a fan of watching 2 hours a week professional poker, most times i watched the wsop videos and
a man with cowboy hat named Chris Ferguson was part of the top lobby of poker players. In the last years i havent seen him anymore on any streams of poker tournaments. Did he retired?

greets

Yes, he plays live still but the media don't touch him with another player, Howard Lederer, who were in at the deep end of Black Friday with FTP.

George Danzer, a German player. Used to see his face a lot when watching wsop, ept etc. Suddenly the guy disappeared. Probably quitted Poker completely by now.

George is in Family Background---Seldom to see

I love Jen Harman. She's a great player and really nice person who overcame diversity and significant health issues playing a man's game in a man's world. I just checked her X account. Her latest post was 2 years ago. Not sure where she's at these days but I wish her well. She was definitely a role model for me growing up as a wannabe poker pro.

The player who immediately comes to mind is Phil Ivey.

When poker is broadcast on German television, it's usually the 'World Series of Poker'. I may be wrong, but I haven't seen him there in a while.

Tod Brunson has been missing
for a while. Mike Caro is another! Both have been successful and taking it easy!

bodil19982 · Jun 10, 2025

Doyle Brunson RIP..

Players like Chris Ferguson or Tom Dwan used to be everywhere, but now you rarely hear much about them. Times change, and the spotlight moves fast in poker.

Who are the poker players that you never hear about anymore?
