Andy Beal, a self-made billionaire businessman, banker, real-estate developer, and mathematical genius, is also a huge poker aficionado. And when I say huge, I mean he's the blue whale of the world's poker seas, playing cards for enormous sums of money running into the millions of dollars. But who does he play poker with? Who else has that kind of money to play such high-stakes poker save for the best of the best poker pros?
