A poker player who used to work in Wall Street, Steven Begleiter, ensured recently in an interview that both poker players and financial employees have many characteristics in common, and that a player who had managed making a living of poker, would also be very valuable in this kind of companies.
But he is not the only example of a poker player that has managed to pass from one world to the other or even being in both of them. Other good examples are Aaron Brown and Kathy Liebert.
