Article on Eli Elezra's mansion & apparently, he owes Shaun Deeb and a ton of other people. - Page 4 - Poker News

This guy's accomplishments are definitely admirable; Israeli Commando, makes good in U.S. business dealings, High Stakes Poker player, and a good family man. I wish I could've accomplished just one of those things; no jealousy though, I've done OK for myself.....

Tell us more champ. Dunno about anyone else but the suspense is killing me.

He won't even show his face in Bobbys room and for his sake I really hope he doesn't. Loaned up on that house . Borrowed millions on full tilt from other players and full tilt. He's complete degenerate scum now. Tells stories after storms BS everytime he runs into people.

Is the big mix game going? Last I heard it was 1500-3000k in Bobbys room and Daniel started to play more last couple weeks.

Any idea about Barry or Chau? Use to always see Barry at Commerce playing 200-400 Stud.

I thought he owned a chain of film developing places.

So many random stories, think privateworld might be right on this one.

Most honorable players in Bobbys room(I mean by always paying and being the first to pay)

Lyle Berman
Abe Mosseri
David Grey
Ralph Perry
Doyle
Illya Trincher
Ralph
Bobby Baldwin
Phil Ivey (when there)
Daniel (but rarely plays because he would get killed
Gus (hit and miss)
Bully Baxter
Matt Glantz (not anymore cause he got killed in Bobbys room years ago...never went back)
Certainly not Patrick
Opie (most of the time, according to who player is)
Aaron Katz (cause his daddy will always pay sooner or later)
Certainly not chow(owes won't play anymore..craps got the best of him)
Freddie Deeb (only cause he has Lyle )

Not sure in planet poker world who does not know about Benyamine. I said he is similar and runner up to scumbag Eli. Remember most the guys became more honorable when they first had full tilt millions coming in. Degenyenmine like Eli just robbed his piers and the stories from both of them...my god.
Degenamine shows up now and then looking horrible and saying he's being staked.

Is this true about housing in LV. I've been looking around for 2nd property and if LV is RE prices are booming I get the sense this bubble is going to pop. I kind of understand SF, LA prices but LV real estate booming has me a little worried we're due to repeat our mistakes.

Matt Glantz? The reason you think that is because a moron poker writer wrote a article about the 20 highest cash game players and accidentally wrote about Matt Glantz. He was teased about that for years. He plays a regular 150/300 at Parx.
No player wants him in the game. He just sits and blabs his big mouth. Annoying.
Like he fake plays just to be social.

LOL this is becoming gold. Shoutout to Limon for posting! And who is Aaron Katz and who is his rich father? I've noticed a few articles online saying he is a huge scumbag, but you listed him with the reputable hs players.

We were talking about players who pay and don't owe.
Aaron is certainly not reputable and Not enough hours in a day to give his résumé of a scumbag.

Is it time to call live (and to a lesser extent online since you can multi-table) poker what it is, a long-term Ponzi? Many of of these high stakes players have little to no income outside of poker and have a taste for the extravagant spending. If they're not certifiable nits and game select then Murphy's Law will catch up with them. Shaun Deeb mentioned that the game of poker has evolved and no longer can these live pros expect a big fish to show up and dump millions. Same can be said for online without Laliberte and Hansen...
