Epic Adventures: Check the Scoreboard, Part 2

If you want to find the world’s best poker players, follow the money. Last week, we profiled the top five earners among European Epic Poker League members from 2011. This week we will focus on Epic’s top North American earners. You already know which name takes the top slot this year, but there were plenty of other notables who brought in big bucks over the course of 2011. Of the 62 players who earned over $1,000,000 this year, over 40% of them were members of the Epic Poker League. The five players profiled below had great years, but what makes their 2011 tournament earnings all the more impressive is that none of these numbers are all that surprising; we expect these kinds of performances from these players.

Epic Adventures: East Gets Its Due

The East Coast grinder is a species of poker player whose style of play and demeanor at the tables is difficult to replicate. Indigenous to the Atlantic coast of the United States, East Coast grinders cut their teeth in New York City home games, Atlantic City, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, and any place they can find a good spot.
