Alan, who was seen on the fifth season of High Stakes Poker, was a regular in some of the largest cash games in the world.

The founder of Wind-up Entertainment was known for his kindness and generosity, which is why nobody was surprised to learn that Meltzer left two of his former employees a total of $1.5 million.
