Chris Tsiprailidis actually lives in the Syracuse, NY suburb of Liverpool. He's a well respected journeyman who's been playing full-time for some 12 years. A big, amiable Greek, Chris is accomplished in a variety of poker games, having won a WSOP bracelet in limit Hold-Em in 2000. A former chef at a New York country club, he took up poker when he was a soccer player and purchased a club house, where he continued a tradition of hosting small poker games. Moonlighting from his chef's job, he eventually found himself producing more income at the green felt, and promptly switched professions. Which is a good thing, as he is now a family man, with four children.
