Wandering around the car park of a WSOP event, you’ll expect to see some spectacular cars, particularly with the World Series of Poker being the largest, richest and most prestigious gambling event in the world. With the entry fees that these players spend along with the potential winnings, you’d expect to see a decent selection of sports or luxury cars.
But whether you’re a poker pro or you’re looking for a blackjack guide to help you up your game so you can look to start challenging the big boys in the game, there’s always a chance that you could own one of these many beautiful cars that these WSOP players own.
Vanessa Rousso
Rousso is easily one of the richest female poker players in the world, having won 14 WSOP cashes and five circuit cashes. As well as being a poker player since the age of five, she is also luxury sports car enthusiast, with her first big sports car purchase being a lemon-yellow 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo, one of just 5,000 ever made in the world. In 2012 however, she traded this in and bought herself a 2012 Bentley Continental GT giving a bit more luxury with still a good amount of speed, to suit her party girl lifestyle.
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey is one of the biggest names in poker and despite many rumours about him being broke, he has continued to prove them wrong. Ivey drives a $500,000 Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren as his first car and also has a $400,000 Rolls Royce as the perfect back up car. In addition to this, Ivey was even in his own Chrysler Commercial in 2015 and has gained more and more recognition as his career has gone on. Ivy clearly favours speed and class when it comes to his choice of car.
Dan Bilzerian
Dan Bilzerian is the playboy of the poker world, and often updates his Instagram profile with a huge number of the world’s finest cars that he owns. In his collection, he owns a $190 thousand Mercedes SUB, an AC Cobra race car, a Bentley, a Ferrari and also had a Lamborghini Aventador before selling it in 2015.
Dario Minieri
Minieri won a bracelet at the 2008 World Series of Poker at just 23 and made history to become to the first poker player in the world to buy a Porsche Cayman using Frequent Player Points that he collected through online poker. The Italian pro managed to buy the car without putting down a single cent of his own money.
Patrik Antonius
Antonious looked for sleekness, style and sexiness when it came to purchasing his Aston Martin Vanquish V12. This poker player clearly saw how much his Aston Martin Vanquish V12 would suit his James Bond persona and definitely made the right decision when it came to purchasing his luxury car.
Jens Kyllonen
For a WSOP player, especially compared to some of the other sports cars that the WSOP players own, Kyllonen has a relatively modest car. The player has an Audi R8 as his car of choice, which offers both speed and style, in a more modest way than a Ferrari or Lamborghini would.
Sam Trickett
When it came to WSOP sports cars hitting the news and trending on Twitter, the news that Sam Trickett crashed his £275,000 Ferrari F458 Spider in 2015 definitely took off. Although it may only be worth one win in a poker tournament for him, the loss of his beloved Ferrari F458 Spider must have hurt, having only bought it three years prior to the crash. However, the international poker star who banked more than £20 million after quitting his job as a gas fitter shouldn’t have had much trouble replacing it.
