Daniel Negreanu, one of the most well-known and famous poker players in the world, has another trophy to add to his collection after being pin-pointed as the most handsome male poker player following research by Casinos.com.

Poker is one of the most popular casino card games on the planet, with fans flocking to the best poker sites in their droves to put their money where their mouth is against other players. And while there is huge sums of money to be won online, face-to-face is where some poker players have made their millions, achieving huge notoriety in the process. 

The Golden Ratio

While how beautiful or handsome someone is is subjective and will differ from person to person, there are scientific methods to correlate attraction based on philosophies from the ancient Greeks. The perfect score, also known as the Golden Ratio, is capped at 1.618. However, thanks to the Golden Face Ratio app, we’re able to simplify this by simply giving a score out of 10.

With that in mind, we ran the most famous male poker players from around the world, ranging from ages 32 to 89, through the app to find out who is the most handsome. 

Daniel Negreanu, who at the time of writing has poker winnings that exceed $42M, can add good looks to his dating profile alongside his enormous wealth. The Canadian native started playing live poker when he was just 15-years-old and tops our list as the most handsome player synonymous with hitting the felt on screens. For fans who want to follow in his footsteps without leaving home, live dealer casinos in Canada offer an authentic, human-dealt poker experience — streamed in real time and accessible from any device.

Tom Dwan, who often goes by his screenname “Durrrr”, grabbed second place with a score or 8.63 with poker player and former professional magician, Antonio Esfandiari, rounding off the top three. 

Dan Smith, whose boy-next-door charm and calm demeanor have made him a recognizable face in high-stakes tournaments, takes fourth place with a handsome poker face of 8.02.

Self-proclaimed ladies' man Dan Bilzerian won’t be happy with his performance here. While he probably spends more time displaying his extravagant wealth on social media and running various businesses than he does at the table these days, landing in 6th place in the male poker beauty rankings won’t be something to post about.

Phil Ivey, often dubbed “the Tiger Woods of Poker,” lands in 11th place with a beauty score of 6.50. Known for his stoic expression and unreadable poker face, Ivey may not dazzle in the looks department here, but his status as a the youngest player to ever win ten WSOP bracelets easily make him one of the coolest players to ever play the game.

Bryn Kenney, once the highest-earning live tournament player in the world, comes in 12th with a score of 5.89. While he may not top this list, few can deny his confidence that can be just as magnetic.

Doyle Brunson, the late godfather of poker, ranks 13th in the handsomeness stakes with a beauty score of 5.57. Regardless, his imposing presence, a cowboy hat and decades-long dominance made him one of the most beloved figures in the history of the game. 🖤

Erik Seidel, a quiet and calculating force in the poker world, rounds off the list in 14th place with a beauty score of 5.25. While this Poker Hall of Famer may not win on aesthetics, few players have aged with such grace, both on and off the felt.

Wherever they ended up, we can assume most people featured on this list won't mind where they are ranked. The prize-winning list is what matters the most in professional poker, alongside the elusive gold bracelets. The likes of Dan Bilzerian might not need to keep up to date on the latest top casino bonuses, but we do.

Methodology 

We took multiple photos from search engines and player social media profiles and ran them through the application to present an average score to the nearest two decimals. 

Five photos from each player were used, and best efforts were made to ensure a variety of angles of each individual were measured where possible. Three pictures of each player were smiling, with two other less expresive images also ran through the application.
