Hamid Dastmalchi is a professional poker player.
Dastmalchi's biggest win came in the 1992 World Series of Poker main event, where he won $1 million. As of 2004 he has over $1.6 million in winnings from tournament poker as well as 3 WSOP bracelets.
Dastmalchi was involved in a legal dispute in 1999 with Binion's Horseshoe after the new management would not let him cash in over $800,000 in chips he had won prior to a legal battle in which Becky Binion Behnen replaced Jack Binion as the head of the casino. A gaming commission ultimately ruled the chips should be cashed.
Dastmalchi rarely plays in tournaments anymore.
