Rafe Furst - A Future Poker Legend


Rafe Furst is the guy you've never heard of or seen play poker who also writes interesting Full Tilt Poker "Tips From The Pros" columns. He is friends with poker legends and a member of the notorious Tiltboys, but he's about to step out from the shadows, a case of Furst among equals (groan).

Rafe Furst is good friends with Phil Gordon and until very recently many people wondered if that was the only reason why he was listed as a "professional poker player" who endorsed Full Tilt Poker. Turns out, however, that Rafe can play a little as well. He just won (at the time of writing) the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'Em event at the 2006 World Series Of Poker.

Winning a WSOP bracelet against 1100 of the world's best poker players is a step in the right direction, and the first prize of $345,984 can't hurt either. Here's how the final hand went down:

After a flop of T84, Rocky Enciso bets $80,000 and Rafe Furst raised $80,000. Enciso called and the turn was another T. Enciso bet the pot of $400,000, leaving only $12,000 in chips behind. Furst put him all in and Enciso called. Enciso showed J4 but Furst turned over 84 for a better two pair. The river was a harmless 2 and Rafe had his first World Series title.

Previously, Rafe Furst was best known for being the first player busted out of the 2003 WSOP, when he lasted a total of 11 minutes. It was a little bit of poor fortune rather than poor play - he flopped a set and John Juanda flopped a bigger set. These things happen.

Furst has made his mark with a spectacular win to start off the 2006 WSOP, and you can play against him and sharpen your own poker skills online at Full Tilt Poker.
