Meanwhile, the reasons behind Cloutier’s willingness to pawn off his WSOP bracelet are under speculation. The 71-year-old pro is one of the most successful tournament players in the history of the game, collecting six WSOP bracelets, a total of 39 titles around the world, and career earnings of $9,413,236. However, some suggest that TJ Cloutier has lost more money playing craps than he ever made from playing poker; this reputation seems to follow him where he travels.
