T.J. Cloutier T.J. and his lovely wife enjoyng their celebrity status T.J. Cloutier, professional poker player, has played in over 55 major poker tournaments, more than anyone else in poker history. T.J. has won somewhere between $7 and $8 million dollars and six World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelets. Despite winning numerous tournaments, he has never actually won the top prize in the WSOP, although he has placed four times in the top five in the Main Event. Born in Albany, California, T.J. attended the University at Berkeley, where he received an athletic scholarship for baseball and football. His career in football, including the Rose Bowl and playing for the Montreal Allouettes, came to an end due to family personal hardship. Subsequently, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he learned to play poker. After his stint in the Army, T.J. partnered with his father and brother in a wholesale food business near San Francisco. A few years later, however, the business closed due to embezzlement by an outside party. Leaving California, T.J. headed for Texas, with barely $100.00 to his name and took a job on the oil rigs. Working only six months at a time on the rigs allowed him to play a little poker on the side and he soon discovered there was much more money to be made at poker games.
