There's this billionaire poker player who challenged a syndicate of pros to a high stakes match. I think his name is Andy Beal (or something like that)

It surprises me that no one has mentioned Andy Beal yet.

Beal. Andy Beal.

You should read the Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King. Author Michael Craig tells us the story of Andy Beal, an amateur who takes on the best players in the world. Craig estimates Beal is worth at least a billion, and refers repeatedly to Beal playing poker.

I haven't seen Andrew Beal listed yet.

Oh, everyone wrote Andy...not Andrew. OK. Yeah, that's him. Same guy.

End of thread.

It was a scheduled tournament, not a sit and go.

There was a book about a guy who played 100k/200k with a billion dollars or something. Some texas banker.

Bill Gates is known to play $3/$6 pr $4/$8 when in Vegas.

A little known fact: Bill Gates didn't actually make his fortunes through poker, but in "computers". So this wouldn't make him inelegible for this question.

So, off the top of my head, I can only think of one billionaire poker player....an upstart Texas Banker, Andy Beal.
