Magic:The Gathering with a Dream Team at 2014 WSOP

Magic:The Gathering (MTG)  and poker go way back and ever since the early 2000s the MTG community has been supplying a steady stream of excellent online and live poker pros who are delighted to find a source of income without compromising on their lifestyle of choice.

This year's WSOP makes no exception and has attracted many notable members of both the MTG and the poker community. The players cheering for @Brock Parker right after he won his third WSOP bracelet in #wsop10 make up a veritable dream team for any fantasy poker manager:

@David Williams @Eric Froehlich @William 'Huey' Jensen @Christopher DeMaci @Kenny Hsiung @Brock Parker  and @Gabriel Nassif are just some of the MTG notables to watch out for at #WSOP2014!

Part of the MTG track record at 2014 WSOP so far (more than 700K in collective earnings):

Gabriel Nassif finished 24th and cashed in his very first WSOP event this summer - the #WSOP3 Pot Limit Omaha.

Christopher DeMaci has two ITM finishes already - 58th / 7977 in the #WSOP8 Millionaire Maker for $21,968 and 78th / 1128 in #WSOP3 Pot Limit Omaha.

@Adam Levy and Kenny Hsiung also finished ITM in  the Millionaire Maker.

@Justin Bonomo already added $219,565 to the collective MTG earnings by finishing 2nd in #wsop5 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw and he's been running good in the #WSOP11 No-limit Hold'em Six-handed where he is second in chips with only 10 players remaining!

Of course, the hero to date is Brock Parker, who finished 5th in #WSOP7 Razz for $25,717 AND won #WSOP11 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo for $443,407 and a third bracelet!

More great things are to be expected from this dream team in the coming weeks - all the more that @Isaac Haxton (with 24 ITM finishes and $1,767,210 in WSOP earnings) is likely to play the Big One for One Drop, judging by this tweet:
