Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which poker legend is called, "The Godfather"?

Answer: Doyle Brunson

Brunson does bear some resemblence to an old-time mobster. This is a fitting name for arguably the greatest poker player to ever live. He has won the World Series of Poker Main Event twice, and is one of only four players to win this multiple times. Another nickname for Brunson is "Texas Dolly".

2. Which wacko poker player is nicknamed "X22"?

Answer: Paul Magriel

When Magriel bets, he often says "Quack Quack", or for a raise,
"Double quack quack". I think this guy is a psycho because of his hilarious antics, but otherwise fun to watch!

3. Whose nickname is "Jesus"?

Answer: Chris Ferguson

He bears a striking resemblence to Jesus, with the long brown hair and everything. He is a former World Champion, winning the 2000 WSOP Main Event.

4. Who has earned the nickname, "The Professor"?

Answer: Howard Lederer

Lederer will stare you down for the longest time, trying to read your hand. When you do something such as move your hand over your mouth, he can tell what kind of cards you have.

5. What great player is nicknamed "Action"?

Answer: Dan Harrington

"Action Dan" is one of the greatest ever. He has made 4 World Series of Poker Main Event Final Tables (1987, '95, 2003, '04). He won it all in 1995, along with a million dollar first prize. It has been said that the greatest poker feat ever was achieved by Harrington in 2003 and 2004, by making 2 final tables in a row, defeating record fields of 839 and 2567 people.

6. Who is often called "The Poker Brat"?

Answer: Phil Hellmuth

Hellmuth's attitude makes a lot of enemies for him. It is not an uncommon occurrence too, when he loses a hand, see him sprawled out on the floor behind the table cursing at himself. He won the '89 World Series Main Event.

7. Whose nickname is "The Great Dane"?

Answer: Gus Hansen

Gus is a promising young superstar, who has made many final tables on the World Poker Tour. He finished in the Money in 2004 during the Main Event of the World Series of Poker.

8. Who is called "Devil Fish"?

Answer: Dave Ulliot

Devil Fish is a very popular and very powerful poker player in today's game. The Brit is often seen on the World Poker Tour Final Table.

9. Who is called, "The Master"?

Answer: Men Nguyen

He used to be called "Moneymachine", because if he lost all of his cash, he'd whip out his Visa and go to an ATM to get more. "Men The Master" is a poker legend.

10. Who is called, "Tiger Woods"?

Answer: Phil Ivey

Phil looks exactly like Tiger Woods. He plays like the "Tiger Woods of Poker" too; he's one of the best young players in the game.
