What would poker be without the spine-chilling feeling of possibly losing it all in the blink of an eye?
For all players, this emotional and financial roller-coaster is what makes the game worth playing. But only professional ones can bust thousands of dollars while keeping it totally cool.
If you're freaking out when you lose a couple hundred bucks while gambling, wait until you find out how much these five professional players lost!
Estimated losses: $5 million
Gavin Griffin marked poker history as the youngest player to win a WSOP tournament, snagging the Pot Limit Hold'Em in 2004. He also won the prestigious Triple Crown, followed by an EPT in 2007 and 2008. In 2012, his total live winnings approached $5 million.
However, Griffin fired out most of this money. Alongside the cost of playing in live tournaments and the high Californian taxes, he developed a gambling addiction that cost him heavily.
He eventually had to step down several levels and go back to the lower stakes tables in order not to go completely broke.
Estimated losses: $18 million
Gus ‘The Great Dane' Hansen has always been famous for his crazy swings: after having won four WPT's in a year and made six final tables, amassing over $11 million, the Danish player hit rock bottom in 2014.
His losses on Full Tilt surpassed $20 million in September, losing as much as $630,000 in a week alone! He managed to get a little bit ($1.2 million) back, but with total losses of -$18 million, the man set the record of online poker losses.
If a reasonable reaction would be to curl up in fetal position and start crying, the Great Dane kept it cool, declaring : 'I still have money in my pocket. My online numbers aren't looking too pretty, but I can still afford a sandwich.'
Many professional players might have gone broke, but few with quite the same laid-back attitude.
Estimated losses: $20 millions
Of all the poker pros who went broke, Scotty Nguyen embodies the genuine old school poker legend: weird gambling superstitions, memorable punchlines, amazing bluffing skills and terrible drinking habit.

Tired of being treated poorly by his employer, he eventually decided to quit, with a $270 pay check in his backpack. He took his money to Lake Tahoe where he started playing poker and turned it into a six figures bankroll within a week.
