Dan Goldman the Poker Player?

Phil Collins is the biggest deal of the remaining 11 players, but Dan Goldman could make a case for that title as well.

Dan Goldman has been a big deal in the poker world for years, even if we don't know him by name. As a marketing executive in the poker industry for years, including five years in the early days of PokerStars, Goldman knows his way around poker, whether it's virtual or live felt.

One could argue that folks like Goldman are as responsible as anyone for the worldwide poker boom that has taken place in the 21st century.

Goldman is short-stacked, but his deep run is poising him to make a name for himself and become a big deal as a player.
