The world’s biggest money earner in poker, Antonio Esfandiari, appeared on the Howard Stern Show Tuesday morning discussing his successful poker career and how poker has helped him quite a bit with the ladies. Esfandiari won the biggest cash in poker history at this summer’s Big One For One Drop:$18.3 million.
When asked if he gets laid a lot, Esfandiari said “yes” but only since he’s been playing poker.
“I do all right,” he said, confirming that he has had sex with a Hollywood actress. “She is a B-list actress. You would know her.”
Stern continued to press.
“I am not going to say,” the poker player said.
Esfandiari also admitted to having sex with two women at once and many married women. He is also friendly with Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps and was “mum” on whether Phelps played poker or not.
Stern suggested he did not want to ruin Phelps reputation as it has been widely reported that the gold medal Olympian loves playing poker.
Esfandiari’s lifetime poker tournament winnings around $23 million.
“Poker is a game of skill?” Stern asked, in which Esfandiari noted that a federal judge recently ruled that poker is a game of skill.
Co-host Robin Quivers noted that “What you are dealt is luck”.
“How you play what you’ve been dealt is skill,” Esfandiari answered.
Sorry guys, after his big win, one of the most popular search inquiries to the Gambling911.com website was none other than "Is Antonio Esfandiari Gay".
He also spoke extensively about his Iranian background and disclosed that his mother left him in the US and returned to Iran when Esfandiari was a little boy. She has never returned and Esfandiari plans to never visit Iran either as poker is not only illegal there but he could be put to death.
And the best poker player in the world?
Stern asked if he is it for which Esfandiari sort of implied he is.
