Ten Most Athletic Poker Players

[Bigdaddydvo]

Smartest...Dumbest....now something truly relevant: How much can poker player X bench press? What does he run the 40 in? Criteria for this post is the poker pro/semi-pro that has some reasonable athletic accomplishments to his/her name. My top pick is Doyle Brunson, since he was the Texas State Champ in the Mile run (something like 4:27...smokin) and was drafted by the NBA before he got hurt. At #456,113th and rounding out the bottom of my list is Sup Bro.

Ted Forrest did a standing backflip on a bet.

I think he played tight end professionally in the Canandian Football League.

Phil Laak does push-ups while waiting for the river and jumps around all over the place. Very athletic, very annoying and not funny at all.

Someday, I will be the WPT's most athletic player. So you can just vote for me now, and save time.

Don't forget Doyle's victory in the "we-look-like-crippled-whales" race last year.

Gus was a youth tennis champion.

Vince Van Patten was a former pro tennis player, as well. Before that he was a child actor. Now, he's just an enormous douche.

And as I've mentioned before, Tomer Benvienisti was once the American Judo champ. In 2003, mere months before a crippling poker addiction led to rapid weight gain.

Remember, if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter.

Greg Raymer beat up 2 guys who had a gun...that's GOTTA count for somethig...

And don't forget the card throwing thing with the bananas.

That 3rd place construction worker guy from the party poker million cruise was so strong that he couldn't hold onto his own chips so I would vote for him.

He didn't give neearly as many chips away as it seemed like , he just kept crushing them with his bare hands every time he went to bet.

Doyle couldn't walk a mile in a week right now. My pick would be Raymer because he's apparently the greatest racquetball player to ever live.

[Tyler Durden]

Erick Lindgren is athletic.

[Daliman]

Isn't Huck Seed supposed to be really athletic?
