At any given time there are usually about 7,000 players playing on PokerStars, but we hear more about a handful of them than all of the rest combined. That's because, as in all disciplines with a high skill factor, the cream rises to the top.

But who are these people? Who are the real players behind the online screen-names who tend to dominate at the PokerStars tables?

Higgins

In some cases, we just don't know. PokerStars permits players anonymity, and we are no wiser at PokerStars Blog as to many of the players' identities as you are. But we also have access to social media and other outlets, and we meet people at events, where we'll sometimes ask them their screen-names. Consequently, we've built up quite a knowledge base of players and their aliases. And it's time to share it.

Matthew higgins poker series

Here's our list of PokerStars screen-names and the real people we know are behind them.

The list features only players whose screen-names are either common knowledge or who have volunteered the information online -- usually via a social media account, a results-tracking service (such as Pocket Fives), an interview or part of a coaching offer. The 'Nationality' field shows the country in which they hold a passport, but the 'Based' field shows the country in which their PokerStars account is currently registered, and from which they play online. (This is subject to change as players move around.)

This is far from exhaustive and it is likely to be updated as and when we learn more.

Simon Higgins warmed up for the upcoming WSOP at GGPoker and the WPT World Online Championships at partypoker by padding his bankroll with more than $130,000.

Higgins was one of 1,609 players who made it through to the final day of the Global MILLION$, a $1 million guaranteed event with a $100 buy-in. Higgins guaranteed himself $8,806 just for reaching the nine-handed final table, but he had his sights set higher, much higher.

When the dust settled, the only player with chips in front of them was Higgins. His reward for outclassing this stellar field? A cool $132,092.

The Irish player using the “Gr4vyB04t” alias was another of our players who was triumphant on July 12. The came out on top of a 372-strong crowd in the $1,000 buy-in High Rollers Main Event and turned their second bullet into a $64,669 haul.

Brits also reached the final tables of two events at 888poker.

The $20,000 Sunday Sale Whale only cost $160 instead of $320 to enter this week and two more of ou players took advantage of the cut price. “petersmyth” made it to seventh-place before running out of steam. This netted him $1,566. “MrCoals” went deeper, eventually busting in fourth-place for a $3,425 score.

PokerStars, once again, proved to be a happy hunting ground for players calling the UK and Ireland home.

Sam “SamSquid” Grafton won the $530 Sunday 500 for $6,204 including bounties. The Sunday 500 used to be a massive weekly tournament but, strangely, only 28 players bought in this week. Still, Grafton showed his class and emerged from the short battle victoriously.
