2. Erik Seidel
Earnings: $32,529,082
Second on our list is New York-born player Erik Seidel, current resident of Las Vegas, Nevada. The 57 year old has now won eight World Series of Poker bracelets, as well as a title of World Poker Tour.
Included in the Poker Hall of Fame back in 2010, Seidel has been playing poker for most of his life, which means he’s had plenty of time to amass quite the wealth, playing tournaments in all corners of the world.
He is the only player that’s been known to earn more than $5 million in poker earnings in three years. While this isn’t uncommon to happen once, managing such winnings in multiple years, is.
