A European poker legend, Surinder Sunar is one of the most stoic, consistent, and disciplined tournament players around. It may stem from a combination of the discipline he learned while earning a black belt in martial arts and his years of poker experience.
Born in India, Sunar moved to England at the age of seven. He has been cashing in major tournaments for more than 15 years. His professionalism was never more evident than when he won the World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris against a somewhat unsportsmanlike heads-up opponent, Tony G. Sunar rose above the antics and took down the first-place prize, worth almost $823,000.
