Steve Danneman was born in Baltimore, Maryland on August 15, 1966. He has his own firm where he is the certified public accountant, financial advisor, and mortgage loan officer. He is best known for his second place finish to Joe Hachem in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event. Steve said that he is only the fourth best player in his home game, but that didn’t stop Steve from having a great finish at the WSOP.
Steve Danneman split the $10,000 entry fee to the Main Event with his friend, Jerry Ditzel. The two friends split the $4,250,000 that Steve won. Steve’s second place finish also got him into the 2005 WSOP Tournament of Champions, where he finished 5th.
Steve Danneman is also a very superstitious person. He didn’t allow his wife to watch him at the WSOP Main Event because she missed the first day and he would have bad luck if anything changed. He also won’t ride in a cab that doesn’t have a number ending in 8. Steve says that despite his poker success, he is not going to quit his job, which he thoroughly enjoys.
Steve Danneman lives in Severn, Maryland with his wife and stepson.
