Keep in mind that only a slight few are Israelis. The rest are jewish by heritage.

Eli Elezra (WPT winner, 4k/8k player), Eli Balas (2-times bracelet winner), David Levi (very solid tournament pro) & Rafi Amit (10k PLO bracelet winner) are all Israelis.

There a few others, like Asher Derei & Alex Kahaner (not a pro, but won over 1mil in the WPT legends of poker).

The grinder is not Israeli, his parents (or at least his father) are. He's jewish, that's for sure. There's a very good chance that to find an israeli heritage in the Phil Gordon type jews, you'll have to go back a millennium or two.
