Esfandiari Backstage with Bruno Mars | The Official Global Poker Index

Antonio Esfandiari is known as the top earning tournament poker player of all time. He is ranked first in the world with more than $26 million in live tournament winnings, much of which came from his Big One for ONE DROP victory in 2012 worth over $18 million in itself.

Esfandiari is also known for his partying ways. Most recently, he took in a Bruno Mars concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and spent some time backstage with the artist himself.

He tweeted, “My man Bruno Mars !! What an incredible performer. Much love !” along with an Instagram photo of the two.

The well-respected poker player should be arriving at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas any day now.
