Tao of Poker

Gallery of Champions

I was fortunate to witness plenty of amazing moments in the world of touranment poker including the 2005 WSOP, a few WPT events, two WPBT tournies, and a EPT event in Spain. The following pictures were captured by yours truly moments after these champions won their event. My favorite is Johnny Chan winner's photo. They all have the distinction of going up in my Gallery of Champions. You can click on the individual photos to get an enlarged view. Enjoy.
