You never know who might come out for a poker tournament. Sitting among the field today is Peter Nygard, a Finnish-Canadian fashion icon with more than 50 years in the business.

With its origins in Winnipeg, his Nygard Fashions is a global brand that has headquarters in Toronto and New York, with a flagship retail outlet in Times Square.

And he's doing more than just making an appearance. He's sitting at a stacked table that includes Eric Wasylenko, Paul Esposti, Mark Golub, and Igor Grinevsky, and he's managed to stack up around 120,000 chips despite being in tough competition.
