David Ventura

David Ventura is a professional poker player from the United States, known primarily for his live tournament appearances. While detailed career statistics are scarce, his recorded result in a high-profile WSOP event demonstrates his ability to compete at the highest level.

Ventura's most documented achievement came in the 2010 World Series of Poker during Event #49: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em. This tournament attracted 2,543 entrants, building a prize pool of $3,433,050. Ventura navigated the field and reached the final table, ultimately being eliminated in 15th place by Tyler Cornell. For his deep run, he earned $27,464.

The hand that ended his tournament saw Ventura move all-in for 105,000 chips with [A♣][3♣], and Cornell called with [A♥][9♥]. The board ran out [9♦][7♦][4♦][2♣][2♠], giving Cornell a pair of nines and sending Ventura to the rail. This cash remains his only publicly recorded result, reflecting a sporadic tournament schedule.

As of the latest available data, David Ventura has not reappeared in major live tournament results since 2010. It is possible he shifted focus to other pursuits or continues to play in smaller events without widespread coverage. His single WSOP cash, however, stands as a testament to his skill during that period.
