Poker players have to have a certain degree of smarts to ply successfully, but are they smarter than a Fifth Grader? That is the question asked by the popular game show with that name, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" when poker pro Alex "The Outsider" Outhred appeared on the program. When it comes to tournament payouts, Outhred hasn't done bad, piking up $184,745 at a WPT event, but by going nearly as far as he could on the game show, he picked up $500,000. Alex could have answered one more question for $1 million, but decided to keep the half million he had already earned.

Jim Bechtel, The Most Quiet Player
Jim Bechtel is the most quiet player in the WSOP history. He was rather popular in late 80-ies because of his wins in 1986, 1988 and 1989 when he finished in the money at the main event. Jim Bechtel won only one WSOP bracelet. In 1993 he took $1,000,000. Now he lives in Arizona and doesn’t play in many tournaments. He chooses only the biggest ones: WSOP and some WPT events.
