Stop Playing Poker High...

Описание: Poker is a game of skill, strategy, and discipline—but for some of the biggest names in the game, it also became a battle with substance abuse, alcohol addiction, and gambling problems. From players who lost millions while drunk to legends who destroyed their careers with drugs, this video dives deep into the shocking stories of poker pros who let their vices take control.

🔹 Gavin Smith – A tournament crusher who was drinking twenty drinks a day before realizing the damage
🔹 Ilari Sahamies – The high-stakes online legend who lost three million dollars while blackout drunk
🔹 Bill Smith – A WSOP champion who was unbeatable when half-drunk but a disaster when fully wasted
🔹 T.J. Cloutier – A poker Hall of Famer who gambled away his WSOP bracelets playing craps
🔹 Greg Merson – A WSOP Main Event winner who nearly lost everything to cocaine addiction
🔹 Mike Matusow – A poker pro who got caught in a DEA drug bust and served time in jail
🔹 Scotty Nguyen – A former world champion whose drunken meltdown ruined his biggest win
🔹 Dan Bilzerian – The self-proclaimed poker millionaire who suffered three heart attacks from drugs
🔹 Full Metal Havok… – The guy who got so drunk he legally changed his name on a lost bet
🔹 Stu Ungar – The greatest poker talent of all time, who died broke in a motel after a lifelong cocaine addiction

Some players recovered and rebuilt. Others lost it all. And some, like Stu Ungar, never got a second chance. This is what happens when substance abuse meets high-stakes poker.
