Elio Fox is a professional poker player who made his first live-event cash in 2010. In the first 2 years, he cashed 5 times, made 3 final tables, won 3 events, earned a gold bracelet for winning the 2011 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event Championship, and earned over $2.6 million. Fox has also been a very successful online poker player, earning over $2.5 million.
Born in New York in 1986, Elio was introduced to poker while attending Bard College in New York when he started playing online. By the time he had graduated with a degree in economics, Elio had earned enough online that he could comfortably pursue poker professionally.
Before Black Friday, Elio had earned $1,426,147 on PokerStars, $776,523 on Full Tilt and $336,260 on Absolute Poker. In 2010 on PokerStars, he earned over $484,000 which included cashing for $155,780 in a SCOOP event, and 4 cashes in $109 buy-in events for $52,113, $49,030, $34,789 and $26,356. After Black Friday, Elio set-up a second home in Canada in order to continue playing poker online, and by October 2011, he had earned close to $60,000 at PokerStars
Elio had his first and only live-event cash in 2010 at the PokerStars North American Poker Tour Mohegan Sun, when he finished 15th in the $4,700 NLHE Main Event for $23,000.
As of October, Elio had cashed 3 times in 2011, and won his first gold bracelet. At the 2011 WSOP, he played in 17 bracelet events without cashing. While he was in Las Vegas however, he earned $87,192 when he won the $1,590 NLHE Deep Stack Extravaganza, and won the Bellagio Cup $10,000 NLHE Main Event for $669,692.
In September, Elio was at the Rendez-Vous à Paris, where he finished 31st in the €7,500 NLHE WPT Grand Prix de Paris for €11,110. In October, Elio was at the WSOP Europe Cannes, where he outlasted 592 players, the largest field in WSOP Europe’s Main Event history, to win €1,400,000 and his first gold bracelet.
After his victory in Cannes, Elio stated that he likes living the poker lifestyle because it involves a lot of freedom, and the thought of going to the same job every day over and over is horrible to him. The flexibility of poker as a career is what allows him the freedom to split his time between Manhattan and Canada.
Besides poker, Elio is also passionate about scuba diving, which he has been doing since he was 14. He hopes to get his dive-master certification, and act as a guide to other scuba enthusiasts and travel the world. This is another reason he loves playing poker: the opportunity it affords him to travel to exciting locations.
