David Viffer Pit: From High-Stakes Poker to Retirement and Back


David Viffer Pit, a professional poker player known for his participation in High Stakes Poker and Poker After Dark, recently discussed his life, career, and reasons for quitting and returning to poker. Pit mentioned that he quit poker three years ago due to health reasons and moved to San Diego with his girlfriend.

Pit returned to poker a few months ago and started playing at Ocean's Eleven casino in San Diego. He discussed how he used to play high-stakes poker games and sometimes lost and won millions of dollars in a week. Pit mentioned that he played a significant role in a notable poker hand against Phil Hellmuth, known as the '9ball corner pocket' hand.

Pit's journey in poker has been filled with ups and downs, but his recent return to the game shows his continued passion for the sport. Despite the challenges, Pit remains a prominent figure in the poker world and continues to inspire players with his stories and experiences.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
