Benjamin Sulsky (born November 22, 1987) is an American professional poker player from Durham, New Hampshire, currently considered one of the best online cash game players in the world.[ citation needed] Sulsky plays under the aliases Sauce123 on PokerStars and Sauce1234 on Full Tilt Poker. He specializes in Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) and No-Limit hold'em (NLHE). [1]
Sulsky started playing online freeroll tournaments never depositing any money when he first started playing. He built up a bankroll of $3000 and proceeded to lose $1200 in one night. He cashed out the rest and did not play poker for two years. He returned with a $1000 deposit, which he lost. He deposited another $1000 and started playing $0.10/$0.25 with bankroll management rules of 25-30 buy-ins. Sulsky never went broke and never looked back. [1]
By 2012, he was considered one of the best players in the world at NLHE and PLO. He described having trouble finding action as other players refused to play him. [2] He defeated Phil Galfond at the 2013 World Series of Poker $10,000 No Limit Hold'em heads-up event finishing 4th for $110,485. [3] He is currently an instructor for Galfond's website Run It Once. [4]
In 2013, Sulsky played fellow professional poker player Doug Polk in a highly publicized match of 15,000 hands in heads up No-Limit hold 'em and was defeated for $740,000. Polk also received an additional $100,000 bonus for his victory. [5]
Sulsky is considered an online cash game specialist rarely playing live tournaments. [1] Sulsky has won over $5,500,000 on his PokerStars account, Sauce123, but is down over $400,000 on his Full Tilt account, Sauce1234. He formerly played as PrtectYaNeck on Full Tilt earning over $500,000. [6]
He became more active on the live tournament circuit during the 2015 World Series of Poker finishing 4th in both the $50,000 Poker Player's Championship and the $100,000 One Drop tournament earning over $1,400,000. [7] [8] As of October 2016, his total live winnings exceed $1,700,000. [9]
