For many poker fans, the lifestyle that pros lead is just as interesting as the game they play. In the old days they had to imagine what life was like for successful poker players. But in this era of social media, all you have to do to peek behind the scenes of the poker world is have a look at the Instagram accounts of your favorite poker pros.
Patrik Antonius
Ever wondered what it’s like to be one of the modern poker’s most successful players? Patrik Antonius gives you a glimpse on his Instagram account. Just in case you think that everything comes easy for him, imagine sitting down to a $4,000/$8,000 cash game and finding these two guys to your left.
Phil Ivey
Few poker players have enjoyed as much success with as much consistency as Phil Ivey. Yesterday he entered Day 3 of the 2019 WSOP $50,000 Poker Players Championship as chip leader, and today he returns in the same position with just 12 players remaining. If he wins the tournament to claim his 11th career bracelet — and take sole possession of second place on the all-time list — you can count on seeing that winner’s photo on his Instagram.
Maria Ho
Maria Ho shares a lot of final table photos on her Instagram, similar to a lot of other poker players. But she also travels the world as a spokesperson and TV presenter, so you’ll find more her posting from more than a few stunning locales outside the usual poker world stops.
Doug Polk
Follow Doug Polk on Instagram and you’ll get pleny of shots from cash games and tournaments around the world. You’ll also get lots of cute dog pictures because that’s just how Doug rolls.
Daniel Negreanu
It’s no stretch to call Daniel Negreanu the ultimate poker insider. The former member of Team PokerStars has access to all the places that you don’t and knows all the poker players on Instagram. And when he shares his peeks behind the scenes, he does it with exactly the kind of production value you expect from one of poker’s all-time winningest players.
