When the dust settled on the Global Poker Eagle Cup Tournament of Champions<\/strong>, the only sound to be heard was the soft roar from a player named Quiet Lion<\/strong>. As it turns out, the man behind the name, Richard Brodie<\/strong>, has lived a life that has been anything but quiet.<\/p>\n

Brodie prevailed in the Tournament of Champions on Oct. 28. In doing so, he secured a $5000 prize package to a live event of his choice. The prize package includes travel and accommodation, so Brodie will be set to represent Global Poker at a big tournament in the future.<\/p>\n

The tournament of choice will likely occur in early 2019. Brodie, who mostly plays online poker, wants to let a bit of time pass so he is not playing during the rush of tournaments in the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Brodie advanced to the Tournament of Champions after winning the Eagle Cup\u2019s Medium Main Event<\/strong>. In a statement, he downplayed his skill in winning the prize package.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got lucky,\u201d said Brodie. \u201cI kept winning every all-in.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brodie went on to say that the timing of the tournament was also fortuitous. In a hilariously human statement, he mentioned that most tournaments run during his dinner time, but thankfully, this one began at 11 AM.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t trust Brodie\u2019s poker humility for one second<\/span><\/h2>\n

Brodie also expressed how much he enjoys Global Poker<\/strong>, due to the site\u2019s focus on recreational players. He said that the games are more fun because the people are more fun.<\/p>\n

He also enjoys the site because of its structure. The road to qualifying for a major tournament was shorter than at other sites.<\/p>\n

Based upon his statements, one might think that Brodie was merely a recreational player who luckboxed his way into a big win. In reality, there is little about Richard Brodie that is not exceptional.<\/p>\n

Brodie is a former Full Tilt Poker Red\u00a0Pro<\/strong> from the time before\u00a0Black Friday<\/strong>. He has nearly a quarter of a million dollars in live tournament earnings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those earnings come from a variety of small but sizable tournament scores, including seven World Series of Poker<\/strong> cashes and three World Poker Tour<\/strong> finishes. He also won the Ace-to-Five Lowball<\/strong> event at the 2008 BARGE.<\/p>\n

In fact, he made a cameo as a poker player in the 2008 comedy movie\u00a0The Grand<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. To give an idea of the company he was in, other pros to appear in the movie include Doyle Brunson<\/strong>, Daniel Negreanu<\/strong>, and Phil Hellmuth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
