Ted Forrest was born in Syracuse, New York on September 24, 1964. He got his start in poker when he worked at a hotel near the Grand Canyon. Ted would frequently commute to Las Vegas to play poker, and he won enough money there to finance a college education. However, Ted Forrest dropped out of college nine credits short of graduation and returned to the poker table. Ted says it was one of the best decisions he had ever made.
Ted Forrest won three bracelets at the 1993 World Series of Poker, the bracelets coming in events of Razz, Omaha 8 or Better, and Seven Card Stud. Winning three WSOP bracelets in one year is a feat that has been matched only by Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey. Ted focused entirely on cash games for a number of years, not even entering the WSOP. However, Ted reentered the WSOP when the fields got larger, and he won two more bracelets in the 2004 WSOP, coming in Seven Card Stud and No Limit Holdem. Ted Forrest has also made it to three World Poker Tour final tables and has appeared on the GSN show High Stakes Poker.
Ted Forrest is a true gambler, and enjoys making proposition bets. He has bet that Huck Seed’s brother Leif could not run from Las Vegas to LA while only sleeping twice. He has also won a marathon in Las Vegas’s 115 degree heat in order to win a bet. Somebody once bet Ted at the WSOP that Ted could not do a standing back flip. Ted earned a quick $10,000 from this bet.
