You probably noticed JC at the final table of the WSOP main event this past year. He didn’t win, but the $10 million in lifetime earnings probably eased the pain.
Shannon wasn’t even of age to drink 10 years ago, yet he still cracked this list. Not too shabby.
Better known by his online handle “Elky,” this Frenchman got his start playing online poker after becoming a Star Craft champ. It’s hard to make 7-figures a year playing Star Craft.
So yea, Juanda’s more of the strong, silent type. Except he’s banked over $15 million since he’s started playing tournament poker.
