Philip "Phil" C. Laak (born September 8, 1972) is an Irish-American professional poker player and a poker commentator, now residing in Los Angeles, California. Laak holds a World Poker Tour (WPT) title, a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and has appeared on numerous nationally aired television shows.
Laak was born in Dublin, Ireland, raised on the East Coast of the United States, and now lives in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in mechanical engineering and worked in varying jobs prior to getting into open poker games in California. He is a former roommate of fellow professional poker player Antonio Esfandiari. Prior to his move west, Laak lived for several years in New York City where he honed his skills as a backgammon player before turning his focus to poker.
Laak learned to play poker as a child. His first major tournament victory was at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Celebrity Invitational in February 2004. He has made two other WPT final tables since: sixth place in both the season two Battle of Champions and the 2005 Five Diamond World Poker Classic.
Daniel Negreanu (/nᵻˈɡrɑːnoʊ/; born July 26, 1974) is a Canadian professional poker player who has won six World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and two World Poker Tour (WPT) championship titles. The independent poker ranking service Global Poker Index (GPI) has recognised Negreanu as the best poker player of the past decade.
Since his second place in the Big One For One Drop 2014 tournament, he is the biggest live tournament poker winner of all time, having accumulated over $30,600,000 in prize money. He was named the WSOP Player of the Year in 2004 and again in 2013, making him the first (and only) player in WSOP history to win the accolade more than once. He was also the 2004-05 WPT Player of the Year. He is the first player to make a final table at each of the three WSOP bracelet-awarding locations (Las Vegas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific) and the first to win a bracelet at each. In 2014, he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Negreanu was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1974, seven years after his parents, Annie and Constantin, emigrated from Romania. The Negreanu's had hoped to start a new life in the United States, but ended up settling in Toronto, where Constantin worked as an electrician and sold confectionery. Daniel is five years younger than his brother Mike. Even at an early age Negreanu was extremely ambitious, stating in a 2009 interview "From the age of four, I thought I’d be rich. I told my mom I’d build a house out of Popsicle sticks, and move to California."
Phillip Dennis Ivey Jr. (born February 1, 1976) commonly known as Phil Ivey, is an American professional poker player who has won ten World Series of Poker bracelets, one World Poker Tour title and appeared at nine World Poker Tour final tables. Ivey has been regarded by numerous poker observers and contemporaries as the best all-round player in the world.
Ivey first began to develop his poker skills by playing against co-workers at a New Brunswick, New Jersey, telemarketing firm in the late 1990s. One of his nicknames, "No Home Jerome", stems from the ID card he secured to play poker in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in his teenage years. He was given the nickname "The Phenom" after winning three World Series of Poker bracelets in 2002. His other nickname is "the Tiger Woods of Poker".
Ivey's tournament accomplishments include winning three bracelets at the 2002 World Series of Poker, tying Phil Hellmuth Jr, Ted Forrest, and Puggy Pearson for most tournament wins in a single year (Jeff Lisandro has also since tied the record). Ivey also has bracelets in Pot Limit Omaha from 2000 and 2005. In 2000, he was the first person to defeat Amarillo Slim heads-up at a WSOP final table. In addition to his ten World Series bracelets, Ivey has had great success in the WSOP Main Event. He placed in the top 25 four times between the 2002 World Series of Poker and the 2009 World Series of Poker. Ivey finished 23rd in 2002, 10th in 2003, 20th in 2005 and 7th in 2009.

I hear you breathing though you're so far away
Can you just go where you're going to?
I couldn't give a damn or two about a fool like you
That's true
Are you just too cool? No, you're just perfectly cold
And what goes 'round still comes around
I think it's all summed up and down in a fool like you
That's true
Today is just another day
You hold your ticket into nowhere
It's up to you if you'll stay
And turn your day into a nightmare
You think you know it, you think you know it all
But you don't even have a clue
And control is still in view for a fool like you
That's true
Is there a reason for the way that you are
Or does it just come naturally?
To have an idiosyncrasy and be a fool like you
That's true
You're hearing what you want to hear
Misunderstanding all you see
An attitude in all of us
Is it really you and me
He's hiding, residing deep within the crowd
A hand out, he'll pull you down
You've been found guilty, committed every crime
But still they say you must go free
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true
By a fool like you, by a fool like you
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true
By a fool like you, by a fool like you
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true
