Newly Joined Poker Notables on RankingHero: Russ 'Dutch' Boyd

We are proud to welcome multiple WSOP bracelet winner @Russ 'Dutch' Boyd!

Did you know

Russ was a child prodigy and started college when he was 12! He obtained his law degree at the age of 18 but opted for a professional poker career instead.

Here's how he introduces himself on his website:

I HAVE A PERFECT GIRLFRIEND, MICHELE. WE LIVE IN VEGAS WITH OUR DOG, JUNE. BASICALLY, I'M JUST LIKE YOU. ANOTHER PLAYER IN LIFE, MOVING FORWARD, TRYING TO MAKE THE RIGHT MOVES.

'A player just like us', possibly with a 'tiny' difference: Dutch Boyd won a WSOP gold bracelet in 2006, did it again in 2010, and yet again in 2014 :) This year he published his first book Poker Tilt, co-authored with Laurence Samuels.

@Nolan Dalla:  Dutch Boyd takes us on a wild roller coaster ride of ups and downs and twists and turns, interweaving his experiences in and out poker into a deeply personal, at times provocative reflection of living in the fast lane. Funny, sad, riveting, thought-provoking, and always on edge, this book is an amusement park of emotions.

Maybe he'll find time to share a few snippets of his personal story on RankingHero and meanwhile, here's the link to @Lee Davy's latest interview:
