The poker playboy - Dan Bilzerian


poker high life

Dan Bilzerian is known throughout the poker community as the man who parties like a rock star alongside a bevy of beautiful babes and so far it's fair to say he's earned himself quite the reputation.

Thanks to his penchant for pictures and videos, Dan, or "Instagram Playboy" as he's known to his followers (check out his Instagram page at http://instagram.com/danbilzerian), has taken the idea of social media sharing to a whole new level with his exotic escapades. Indeed, whether he's flashing his guns or his harem are flashing their "guns", there's no doubt that Mr. Bilzerian lives an envious life of excess and he's not afraid to show it.

Although Dan undoubtedly divides opinion across the poker community, his antics both on and off the felt have made him the stuff of legend and he's now being hailed as one of the most interesting men in the social media world. Dan may have had the backing of a wealthy family in his younger days but since turning 21 he's found a way to make his own money: poker. Although he dabbles in a number of business ventures and acting roles, Dan is a poker player that's found a niche in the lucrative world of private home games.

Exploiting his contact book of millionaire investors, celebrities and businessmen, Dan boasts a cash game record that belies his meagre $36,626 in tournament earnings. Gleaning nuggets of information from his poker playing peers - such as Andrew Robl and 2013 WSOP Main Event runner-up Jay Farber - "Mr Instagram" has amassed a small fortune in amateur games across the US.

Indeed, during a recent session it's reported that Dan banked $10.8 million in a heads-up match against a wealthy associate. Soon after he and his friends hopped in private jet and headed to Mexico where they celebrated like only true social media icons do: girls, guns and booze.
