Dan Bilzerian told Joe Rogan he beat one man for $54,000,000 at poker, over 8 to 9 months. Some of poker's best players still think the money came from his father. In the video below, he tells Rogan how the games worked, and what he was on while he played. He says it started in college. He sold 3 guns for $750, turned it into $10,000 on a gambling boat, and had $187,000 at the Bellagio 3 weeks later. By 2012, he says, he was playing private heads-up games against billionaires. At one point he had $18,000,000 on the table. One hand alone, he says, was worth $14 to 15 million. The man reportedly on the other side: billionaire Alec Gores. Pros later said Gores lost over $40,000,000 to him. Doug Polk publicly asked him to prove it. His theory: the money came from Dan's father, Paul Bilzerian, a former corporate raider who went to prison. Bilzerian denies it. He says he only got a trust fund at 35, years after the poker money. Poker pro Chance Kornuth backed part of the story. He says he coached Bilzerian for the Gores game, played at $5,000/$10,000 blinds. Gores has never confirmed the numbers. Poker genius, or trust-fund kid with a great story?
