Here's a list of just a few of the top players you can buy shares in now!
1. Tony G

2. Tom McEvoy

And just last year, McEvoy won the Champions Invitational at the 40th annual World Series of Poker.
3. Dario Alioto
Alioto's first major success in poker came at the European Poker Tour Main Event, where he finished in 7th place and earned €52,000. Later, he won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the £5,000 Pot Limit Omaha event at the 2007 World Series of Poker Europe earning £234,390.
4. Robert Cheung

5. Brandon Adams
A FullTilt Poker Pro and a high stakes cash game player. Brandon gained a lot of notoriety by beating Sammy Farha out of $1 million in a Pot Limit Omaha cash game.
6. Rayan "rkruok" Nathan
Rayan "rkuok" Nathan is currently still the largest money winner on ChipMeUp and is in fine form after finishing 7th on the PokerStars SCOOP leaderboard for 2010.
