Tom McEvoy is one of the best-known names in poker. Virtually all
successful poker players have read one or more of Tom’s six books:
Tournament Poker, How to Win at Poker Tournaments, Championship Hold
‘em (with TJ Cloutier), Championship Omaha (with TJ Cloutier),
Championship No-Limit and Pot-Limit Hold ‘em (with TJ Cloutier) and
Championship Stud (with Max Stern and Linda Johnson).
Tom didn’t set out to be a poker player. He began his professional life as
an accountant. However, he quickly discovered that he could make a far
better living (and probably a more interesting one) at the poker tables,
and moved to Las Vegas in 1979 to pursue a full-time poker career.
Tom specialized in tournaments, which were far fewer in those days. In
1983, just four years after beginning his poker career, Tom won his first
World Series of Poker bracelet – and no, it wasn’t in the main event. Tom
won the Limit Hold ‘em event and $117,000 in prize money. Six days later,
he went on to win the most coveted title in poker, the WSOP $10,000
Championship Event, along with $540,000 in prize money and his second
of four WSOP bracelets. He went on to win the WSOP Razz title in 1986
and the WSOP Limit Omaha title in 1992 (against his friend, Berry
Johnston). He has eighteen other final-table appearances at WSOP events,
and a total of 27 money finishes.
Tom’s poker books are required reading for serious poker players, covering
a wide range of topics from general poker strategy, starting hands and
money management to reading players and taking poker thinking to higher
levels. He has been a featured columnist for Card Player magazine for
eight years, sharing poker knowledge in his Tournament Poker column
every other week.
In addition to poker, Tom has a keen interest in backgammon, fine dining
and movies. He is a voracious reader, favoring fantasy and horror – his
favorite author is Stephen King. Tom is also an avid stamp collector, history
buff and collector of dragons.
Tom is a true gentleman of the game, with an unquestioned reputation for
integrity as well as world-class poker. We are proud to have a player of
Tom’s caliber, both as a player and a person, as a member of the
PokerStars team.
