“I think I’m a poker player first and foremost, and I’ve really embraced this broadcasting part that’s emerged in the last couple [of] years,” Ho said after making a World Poker Tour final table in 2019.

“But I think at the end of the day, to be a good broadcaster, I have to be a good poker player. Making these final tables always helps me stay on top of my game.”

Vivian Saliba

This Brazilian 888poker ambassador not only brings big skills to the table but also shines in the poker department, both live and online.

Saliba, 31, excels at Pot Limit Omaha and is more than just one of the most beautiful female poker players.

She offers excellent advice for those considering taking up the game:

“I think it's good to know that it's very different from Texas Hold'em, and many players are still just playing Texas Hold'em with four cards,” she told PokerNews.

“You've got to study the game and learn the tendencies and theories, and you've got to get into it before you start playing PLO.”

IMPRESSIVE, HANDSOME MEN IN POKER

Jason Koon

This high-stakes pro has won on major poker stages worldwide, including the WSOP, Triton Poker Series, PokerGO Tour, and others. Koon, 38, is among the top five players on the all-time money list with $58 million in winnings. He has also won hundreds of thousands online.

His skills at the table were hard-earned as he didn’t grow up playing any poker board card games and learned to play poker in college from his roommate.

“I never gambled before,” he told SoMuchPoker. “I wasn’t a card player. My family never really played card games. In high school, my friends played cards, but I wasn’t really even interested.”

He added: “I realised pretty quickly that it was a game of skills, and if I worked hard, I could make a lot of money. At that time, I was broke, so it was a great way to put some money in my pocket.”

Olivier Busquet

This poker player and mixed martial artist from New York brings a confirmed skillset and chiselled features to the game. Busquet, 42, has $9 million in live tournament winnings, including winning the WPT Borgata Poker Open in 2009 for $925,514.

The 33-year-old won the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic in 2019 for $1.7 million and has $32.6 million in live tournament poker winnings.

What makes him such a formidable opponent, in poker terms?

“Honestly, I think the number one thing is I'm just very reluctant to give up on a pot,” he told Card Player magazine.

“It's a detriment to me; and it's a big strength as well. But I think it's definitely something that makes it not fun to play against me.”

Patrik Antonius
