Jewish poker professionals
I just found out that The Grinder is Israeli and it got me to thinking about how many other pros out there are fellow Jews that I wasn't aware of.
Help me complete this list. Forgive any misspellings. Barry Greenstein Howard Lederer David Sklansky Eli Elezera Michael Mizrachi Phil Gordon Mike Matusow Gabe Kaplan Cory Zeidman By the way, I'm refering to the ethnicity, not the religion, as I understand that a lot of these guys are atheists and such. |

Jew means your mother was Jewish. In Germany in the 40's the Nazi stormtroopers did not politely stop you on the street to ask you if you fasted on Yom Kippur or had decided to become an atheist. They threw you in the oven. And so it has been for at least the last 2000 years. Suerte, Jonathan |
