Men from all walks of life enjoy letting their hair down—or, letting their shaving schedule lapse, as it were—and sporting a beard. Poker players are no exception. You’re bound to find plenty of <a href="http://poker.gamblingplanet.org/">poker</a> pros displaying various styles of facial hair, but we’ll discuss a few better known players of the lot.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-224" title="Barry Greenstein" src="http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image002.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="234" /></p>
<p><span id="more-221"></span>First up is Barry Greenstein. Known as poker’s very own Robin Hood due to giving every penny of his winnings to charity, Greenstein is a three-time bracelet winner, two-time WPT champ and a frequent beard wearer. Barry’s usually sporting a scruffy-looking, fuller beard; this appears to be trimmed up rather nicely. And kudos for not going the dyed route, Barry; we appreciate the realness.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-225" title="Huckleberry Seed" src="http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image004.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="240" /></p>
<p>This take on a classic chin curtain is being displayed by former WSOP Champion Huckleberry Seed. Huck’s a four-time bracelet winner, including his 1996 Main Event win, and can often be found sporting various styles of facial growth on tables all around the world.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-226" title="Andrew Black" src="http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image006.jpg" alt="" width="266" height="240" /></p>
<p>Next up is Andrew Black. This Irishman is considered one of the greatest poker players to never strike gold at the WSOP. Andy Black, noted for his <a href="http://www.gamblingplanet.org/">online gambling</a> prowess as well as his lively table demeanor, is forever famous for losing the 1997 World Series of Poker to eventual champion and uber-legend Stu Ungar. Andy’s full beard here would make a nice French fork or a Van Dyke given another few inches of growth.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-227" title="Chris Ferguson" src="http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image008.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="255" /></p>
<p>Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, 2000 WSOP Champion and five-time bracelet winner, is one of the only pros to keep a beard at all times. This boxed goatee is only one of the many styles worn by Ferguson. Other beard styles include everything from a short boxed to Balbo and even a low-maintenance, good old-fashioned full beard.</p>
