Listed more than 300 Instagram username ideas both for boys and girls (January 2021 Best Instagram username ideas updated list). Whenever it comes to use Instagram, a user needs to get available with a username that will let others feel attracted to them. There are plenty of poker pros who have nicknames taken from their country of birth, and generally it’s a safe bet with few negative connotations, but although ‘The Flying Dutchman’ (Marcel Luske) and ‘ The Great Dane’ (Gus Hansen) can be satisfied, Patrick Antonius ’ nom de plume of ‘the Finn’ is about as dull as it gets! What follows IS a long list of usernames, those that won big events over the weekend. These are the online poker world's Tom Bradys, its Serena Williams, its Lewis Hamiltons, its Usain Bolts, and its Tiger Woods.

As part of the 50th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) celebrations, WSOP officials have released the list of the “50 Greatest Poker Players” in history.

The list was compiled after tallying votes from a panel made up of 26 poker media and industry stalwarts. They were given a list of 200 players, along with the ability to add write-ins, and all told 173 different players received votes.

There was no ranking involved, just simply selecting who belonged in the Top 50 list with the sole caveat that the player had played at the WSOP at least once.

Here’s a look at the list in alphabetical order based on last names:

Top 50 Greatest Poker Players

Early reactions on social media were mixed with many fans pointing out players who failed to make the list including, but not limited to, Jason Koon, Mike Sexton, Daniel Colman, David “Devilfish” Ulliott, and David Peters.

First Fifty Honors Gala This Saturday

This weekend – at 8 p.m. on Saturday to be exact – the WSOP will not only honor the 50 greatest poker players in a special “First Fifty Honors Gala,” but also reveal the most memorable moments and players from the past 50 years.

Hosted by Lon McEachern and Norman Chad, the award presentation – along with cocktails and dinner – will take place in the Brasilia Ballroom and is open to all WSOP gold bracelet winners and VIPs. Tickets are required in advance.

It’s there that the WSOP will unveil the winners of seven different categories voted on by the public.

• Most Memorable TV Hand
• Best Overall WSOP Performance
• Most Likely to Succeed
• Fan Favorite
• WSOP’s Favorite Bad Boy
• Most Impressive WSOP Main Event Win
• Four Most Important Players in WSOP History

“It is important we take time out to honor the WSOP’s first 50 years and pay tribute to those that paved the way for where we are today,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart. “We look forward to getting the poker community together on Saturday and commemorating 50 years of the World Series of Poker.”

The WSOP will also ask any former Main Event champions attending the gala to come up on stage for a group photo.

I know what you're thinking. Why do I need to see another long list of results featuring usernames I've never heard of, and which don't include mine? You're right. What follows IS a long list of usernames, those that won big events over the weekend. These are the online poker world's Tom Bradys, its Serena Williams, its Lewis Hamiltons, its Usain Bolts, and its Tiger Woods ... well perhaps not its Tiger Woods. If you competed against them and lost, then you so against the best. If you won, well then victory was well earned. Who'd want it any other way?

* bargeeeld wins the Sunday Million to collect $120,108
* The MPC plays on in Macau

So, to those usernames...

This week's Sunday Million winner was bargeeeld of Germany, a username not necessarily one we'd consider familiar. Regardless, he boosted his bankroll by $120,108 a few hours ago as part of a three-way deal with jm1306 and EvertonBezer.

As Jason Kirk reported for the PokerStars Blog, bargeeeld did it the unlikely way, coming back from being all-in with very little at the start of the final table, to the week's biggest winner. A chip and a chair? It's not just a well-worn and tiresome cliché - it actually works! For proof, read Jason's report here.

Sunday Million ($215 NL Hold'em) results: 12 February 2017
Entries: 5,340
Prize pool: $1,068,000
Places paid: 764
