Poker players and their passion for cars

[Display]

Poker is a very popular card game in Germany. Whether it is a game of chance or not, opinions differ. There can be no doubt, however, that to become a professional player, you have to have a real passion for the game. The most passionate - and best - players can make a real fortune over time. However, some of them have a second passion that interests us. For chic, fast and / or expensive cars. Here are some of those poker players and their second passion for PS.

Phil Ivey and his McLaren

Ivey often has to share the spotlight in the competition of international poker pros with Daniel Negreanu or leave it to him entirely. With the choice of his vehicle, the multi-million dollar poker professional secures a spot in the spotlight again. The beautiful Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is just one of the highlights from the small but potent collection of the poker all-rounder. This also includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Mercedes SUV. Ivey, who has already secured 10 World Series of Poker bracelets and won a title at the main event, is in no way inferior to Negreanu in cars.

Daniel Negreanu, the environmentally conscious

Poker players and their passion for cars

Born in Romania with Romanian roots, professional poker has long been a name to be reckoned with. For over 20 years he has enriched the poker landscape with his unusually nice demeanor, which can still confuse his opponents to this day.
He shares his passion for poker and beautiful cars with so many other pros who have a nice collection in the garage. But the vehicle owned by Negreanu is a bit out of the ordinary. The luxurious and elegant Tesla from the S series in scarlet red is undoubtedly an ornament, but obviously has other advantages as well.

So Negreanu is not only a lover of beautiful cars, but also environmentally friendly. Or is he simply amazed by the ingenious technology? Given its niceness, we're guessing it's environmentally friendly, which happens to be associated with a classy car at Tesla. When you've earned over $35 million playing poker and can afford the scarlet beauty, eco-conscious shopping becomes even more fun.

Patrick Antony

British understatement or James Bond among poker players? The Finn with the cool head has secured a real piece of jewelry. The Aston Martin Vanquish V12 appeared in "Die Another Day" and should not only please Bond fans and make you a little jealous, be it because of the car or the millions that it has already recorded. Antonius has won the main event of the European Poker Tour once and can look back on numerous live tournament victories that have brought him a total of over € 10 million. The Aston was probably paid out of the change drawer.

Dan Bilzerian and his € 4 million car collection

If you look at the cars from Bilzerian, you get a little dizzy. There is something for every taste, so to speak. Here you will also find the finest of the finest, starting with the Lamborghini Aventador for almost € 300.000. The Bentley Continental GT for € 200.000 is a little more modest in terms of acquisition costs. The 65 AC Shelby Cobra 427 is obviously a collector's item. But with Dan Bilzerian the Cobra is still really active, and not just for the classic car rally, but it goes to the nearby test racetrack, where the little one can really go off. This will probably trigger mixed feelings among classic car fans.

The chic Mercedes-Benz Brabus G63 is the dream piece for every off-road fan and should not be missing from a modern collection. There is obviously a lot of work here, not a mess. When it comes to poker, Bilzerian only bakes very small rolls. He finances his passion for cars from other sources such as his Instagram account.
