World Cup Fever at the WSOP 2010

UNITED STATES – The poker boom began with the explosion of popularity in the game after the 2003 WSOP, and in the last seven years numerous international stars have arrived on the scene.

A great majority of poker’s big names, however, are still from the U.S., and the list of all-time WSOP bracelet winners is dominated by Americans. Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Erik Seidel, Phil Ivey – take your pick.

ENGLAND – The recent wave of British poker success has continued to roll in 2010, with Praz Bansi and James Akenhead of the London-based Hit Squad bringing home big-time results in the past 12 months.

Liv Boeree has become one of the most recognizable faces in the game, while Roland de Wolfe, Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott and Neil Channing are also amongst England’s finest.

AUSTRALIA – Jeffrey Lisandro might have very well cemented his legacy as the best ever from down under with his 2009 WSOP Player of the Year performance.

In addition to the four-time bracelet winner Lisandro, Australia also claims 2005 Main Event Champ Joe Hachem and the iconic Tony G amongst its ranks.

DENMARK – The most famous poker player from Denmark happens to be Gus Hansen, who’s one of the biggest names in poker.

Hansen’s crazy/aggressive style has created something of a stereotype for Scandinavian players, but also hailing from Denmark is 2008 Main Event champion Peter Eastgate, who we haven’t heard much from lately.

FRANCE – The French claim a number of poker pros, including three of the game’s biggest names.

Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier has emerged as one of the world’s top players, along with High Stakes regular David Benyamine. Vanessa Rousso also has dual citizenship in France and the U.S.
