Life of Ivey

Ivey money on the floor

If setting down a likely five-figure wad of cash by your feet in a room filled with hundreds of gamblers and then forgetting it even exists doesn't give Phil Ivey immediate baller status, I don't know what does...

King Carlos

Carlos Mortensen folds Kings

Former Main Event champion Carlos Mortensen correctly folding pocket Kings to the camera deep in last year's version of the tournament was almost as cool as his icy stare and Moto GP racing jacket.

Lock n' Load

Antonio Esfandiari Jason Koon

Cool guy fist pump? Check. Trendy glasses? Check. Matching branded outfits? Check. Copious amounts of hair gel? Naturally.

Love conquers all

Liv and Igor

Liv Boeree, Igor Kurganov's sparkly hotpants, the funky yin yang in the backdrop; what's not to like!?

C'mon ladies, I'm only one man

Ziigmund cool

Finnish High Stakes star Ilari 'Ziigmund' Sahamies is so cool he'd rather catch up on some sleep than hang out with a bottle of champagne and his lovely guests on a private jet.

Hold baby!

Hellmuth dressed as baby

It's pretty cool to be able to laugh at one's own short comings, and the Poker Brat certainly qualifies for sporting this self deprecating costume at the table.

TJ Cookier

TJ Cookier

Does looking almost identical to a grumpy chocolate chip cookie make poker legend TJ Cloutier cool? We reckon so.

Speak to the hand

Jean-Robert Bellande funny

Judging by this scene and some of his reported losses, Jean-Robert's priorities probably require a bit of a shuffle; but you can't deny the 'broke grinder's' dedication here is pretty darn cool.

Must...resist...cracking...smile

Dan Colman One Drop

If cool is an equation of fathomless nonchalance, Dan Colman must be the coolest man on the planet for this stone faced reaction to winning over $15,000,000 in cold hard cash.

Forget self, gain wealth!

Phil Gruissem charity

What's cooler than German high roller Phil Gruissem and the REG Charity gang's use of their own fortune in life to help others in need? Nothin', that's what.
