One of the nicest professionals that you will meet at the poker table is Chris Reslock. Reslock is a professional poker player in the Atlantic City, NJ area that used to be a cab driver. Once poker became legal in AC, he started playing poker and became proficient in most games but favored $10-$20 Holdem. He made so much money playing poker that he decided to park the cab and to stick with poker.

For the first few years of Reslock’s pro career, most of his wins centered around the Atlantic City area. He won a stud event at the 2001 United States Poker Championship, two events at the 2003 Tropicana Poker Championship Series, and one at Showdown at the Sands in 2003. He also made numerous final table appearances and money finishes.

His biggest poker score to date and his first significant tournament win came at the World Series of Poker Circuit in 2005. He took down the Main Event of the Atlantic City WSOP-C stop to win his first gold championship ring and $335,235. Ten days later he would finish runner up at the Trump Classic Main Event and take down $126,000. Reslock would win his 2nd WSOP Circuit ring in 2006 when he won a preliminary event at the Harrah’s Atlantic City circuit event.

Relock at present has only seven cashes at the World Series of Poker for his career, but two of them are some of the biggest accomplishments on his poker resume. First, Reslock won his first, and so far only, WSOP bracelet when he won the 2007 Seven Card Stud World Championship. The final table of this pro heavy field included Phil Ivey, David Oppenheim, Ted Lawson, and Marco Traniello. Reslock made it heads-up with Ivey and defeated Ivey in short order to win his first WSOP bracelet. Later, Reslock would make the money of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship, finishing 15th out of 148 of the best players on the planet.

Reslock has several other poker titles in the AC area. He took two titles at the 2006 Trump Classic and then came back in 2007 to take another title at the Trump Classic and make 2 other final tables. He also made two final tables at the 2007 United States Poker Championship.

2008 has also been a good year for Reslock as he started off the year winning his 3rd WSOP Circuit ring at the circuit stop in Tunica, MS. He then won two titles at the 2008 United States Poker Championships and made two final tables at the World Poker Finals. In total, Chris Reslock has earned over $1.45 Million in live tournaments. Not bad for a former taxi driver.

Chris Reslock brings a solid style of poker to the table in any poker game he plays and has enjoyed in just about every form of poker played inside of a casino. This former taxi drive will come to the table and charm you with his friendly personality. Afterward, he will “taxi” your chips right into his stack.
