Ali Eslami

Casino and Scoring Card Games

Ali Eslami is a business strategist and renowned high-stakes poker player who focuses primarily on limit mix-games. He is one of the first two people to win the Man-Machine Poker Competition and represented the United States on the U.S. Poker team in the International Federation of Poker's Nation's Cup inaugural event. Since his appearance at the Legends of Poker WPT Season 2 in 2003 he has won over 200,000 dollars with over 14 tournament cashes, but he is primarily a cash game player, playing chiefly in high-limit games in Los Angeles. In June 2007 he took fifth place in the 2,500 dollar H.O.R.S.E. event at the World Series of Poker, and in July 2007, with Phil Laak, he beat the University of Alberta poker bot Polaris in two of four matches of 500 hands each, splitting a 10,000 dollar prize plus 2,500 dollars for drawing a third match.
