Sean Perry? Landon Tice? Can't give you any credibility when you put those two in there, even if it's for the future.

Is Hunt the Texas oil family? Given his nickname, maybe not

"Gutzon Borglum selected these four presidents because from his perspective, they represented the most important events in the history of the United States."

Chris Moneymaker - Poker Boom!
Doyle Brunson - Super System/Godfather of Poker
Phil Ivey - The GOAT
Jason Somerville - I believe he paved the path for poker content and streaming

H.L Hunt (a.k.a. "Arizona Slim") was the founder of the multi-billion oil industry fortune made famous by his son's (Bunker Hunt) massive punt trying to corner the silver market in the 1970s.

H.L. Hunt made his first $250k (1930's money) exclusively from poker and cooncan. He transitioned into trading oil drilling rights and finally into oil wildcatting where he made billions.

Possibly the G.O.A.T. poker player had he not switched to oil. Could be the greatest gambler in history. But his legacy is in oil.

He encountered and beat Nick the Greek, Jack Crow, Indian Jim, and Arnold Rothstein among others.

Love him or hate him, any list not containing Hellmuth should be thrown out.

That's right! In fact, no one else deserves to share the rest of Poker's Mt. Rushmore. Just make it one GIANT Phil Hellmuth!
