#35 Darren Elias: The ONLY 4-Time WPT Champ, $11.3 Million Online & Live Tourney Winnings, and Poker End Boss

Today’s guest is the only 4-time WPT champion on the planet, the one and only Darren Elias.

Darren has over $7.5 million in career live cashes to go along with a pretty, pretty, pretty good $3.8 million in lifetime online career winnings … all despite being a low-volume player.

His career highlights include:

- The aforementioned FOUR WPT titles, including: the WPT Bobby Baldwin Classic, 2017 WPT Fallsview, season 16 WPT Tournament of Champions, and (Darren’s personal favorite win) the 2014 WPT Borgata Open.
- Winning the 2012 World Championship of Online Poker high roller event for a cool $574k.
- And a 2009 FTOPs gold medal for $126k.

Our conversation covers a ton of ground from how Darren got his start playing cards in a way that’s very near and dear to my own heart … playing Yahoo! Hearts, to his first tournament bink and subsequent bankroll explosion to over $500k.

There are too many greatness bombs to count headed your way, including:

- How human beings are driven by personal interests and incentives that skew their opinions.
- Darren’s thoughts on the re-entry vs. freezeout debate.
- Why AI is an existential, imminent threat to the present and future of online poker.
- Why Darren spends most of his time studying human behavior and analyzing patterns to improve his poker game.
- And much, much more!

So, without any further ado, I bring to you the great Darren Elias.
