If you know Kane Lai, chances are you know him as a poker player with over $840,000 in cashes. After all, he is both a Mid-States Poker Tour and Heartland Poker Tour champ. However, did you know that he is also a doctor?

That’s right, Lai is a functional medicine practitioner and serves as the Medical Director of BodyLogicMD in Denver, Colorado. Here’s a brief bio of the man as seen on bioidenticaldenver.com.

“Kane Lai, M.D. earned his medical degree from the Vanderbilt School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee and is an active member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. After several years practicing medicine with the traditional reactionary approach, Kane Lai, M.D. wanted a better way to help his patients experience the best quality of life as possible. The best way he could identify to accomplish this goal was to begin practicing functional medicine with a preventative approach to treatment that would help his patients achieve and sustain optimal health throughout their lives. Kane Lai, M.D. has the tools.”

Lai has made his way down to SHRPO, and he is off to a good start here in Event #24.

In a recent three-way hand, there was 4,700 in the pot and a board reading when the player in the big blind checked and Lai bet 2,100 from the hijack. His opponent on the button folded, and the big blind wound up doing the same. Ship the pot to Lai.
