Dan Bilzerian Challenges Alec Gores to $100 Million Poker Match
Dan Bilzerian, known for his high-stakes poker games and lavish lifestyle, has announced a potential $100 million heads-up poker match against billionaire Alec Gores. The match, if it happens, would be the biggest poker game ever played. Bilzerian claims to have made his fortune from playing in high-stakes private home games, a detail he revealed in his autobiography The Setup.
Bilzerian and Gores have a history of clashes over the felt. Bilzerian revealed details about these high-stakes games in his autobiography, which reportedly annoyed Gores. Gores is a billionaire known in the business world, particularly in venture capital. He is rumored to have beaten fellow billionaire Andy Beal out of $50 million under similar conditions.
The match, if it happens, would be a significant event in the poker world. Both parties have the funds to play a match of this magnitude, and it's just a matter of setting a date and a venue. The currently running World Series of Poker could provide extra motivation for both parties to schedule the match.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
