#5 – Scott Seiver
A native New Yorker now living in Las Vegas, Scott Seiver made a name for himself by winning the 2008 WSOP No-Limit Hold’em event at the age of 23, pocketing $755,756 in the process.  He went on to win the $20,500 buy-in High Roller event at the 2010 L.A. Poker Classic, and now has three first place finishes to his name and total poker winnings of $2,175, 839 – and he’s not even 26 yet!

#4 – Scott Fischman
Originally from Pennsylvania, Scott Fischman migrated with his family to Vegas when he was just 12 years old.  He became a poker dealer as a young man before becoming the youngest person ever to win two WSOP bracelets in 2004, when he won both a No Limit Hold’em and a H.O.R.S.E tournament.  He has 11 cashes at WSOP alone, and now has total poker winnings of $2,634,181.

#3 – Scott Montgomery
The young pro from Perth, Canada, won his first bracelet at the 2010 WSOP $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em event.  Finishing in fifth place in 2008, he earned himself a walloping $3,088,012 and now has winnings totaling $4,128,898.  Not bad for a guy who hasn’t turned 30 yet.

#2 – Scott Clements
Winning bracelets at the 2006 and 2007 WSOP, this young pro from Washington also hasn’t yet seen his thirtieth birthday.  But he’s made a total of £4,353,531 through his talent for poker and shows no sign whatsoever of flagging.

#1 – Scotty Nguyen
The former refugee from South Vietnam was named “Thuan” at birth but since coming to the US aged 14, he’s preferred to be called “Scotty.”  A living poker legend, Scotty has won five WSOP bracelets and made himself a handsome fortune, with poker winnings now totaling almost $11 million.

#5 – Sam Trickett
This young man from Nottingham once had dreams of becoming a professional soccer player but a knee injury put paid to that.  He discovered his outstanding talents at poker whilst recovering, aged just 17.  His huge win at the Aussie Millions in January simply confirms his ever growing ability; he’s now amassed $2,918,735 in poker winnings.

#4 – John Duthie
Just a little ahead of Sam Trickett with total poker winnings of $2,918,735 is successful TV director John Duthie.  Let me get this right: he not only shines as a director, making shows like The Young Indian Jones Chronicles, but he also dazzles at poker, too.  Oh, and he founded the European Poker Tour in his spare time.

#3 – Chris Bjorin
OK, with a name like Bjorin you just know this guy had to have come from Sweden.  But he now regards London as his home, so we’re classing him as a Brit.  The quiet man of poker has been a success throughout his long career, and now has total winnings of $4,353,839.  And that’s not to mention his 2 WSOP bracelets.

#2 – Roland de Wolfe
A former writer for the poker magazine Inside Edge, Roland spectacularly won the Major Grand Prix de Paris event of the 2005 World Poker Tour and has been making hefty cashes ever since.  He has 1 WSOP bracelet and his poker fortune now stands at $4,716,185

#1 – Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott
Soaring into first place, though, is the “Devilfish” from Hull, who overcame a tough and poverty-stricken start in life with his breathtaking poker skills to become a multi-millionaire pro.  His total winnings now stand at $5,643,366 and he’s still going strong.
