A high stakes poker player is someone who can play for high stakes, or tournaments with a buy-in of at least $10,000. These players can win millions of dollars in a single tournament.
However, it’s important to note that not all high stakes poker players are successful. In fact, many of them lose a lot of money.
According to a study by PokerStars, the average high stakes poker player earns around $2.5 million over the course of a five year career.
However, this number is likely much higher for those who are successful. For example, the world’s richest poker player, Phil Ivey, has won over $26 million in one tournament alone.
