Crispin Leyser
 

Untitled Document In 2002 Crispin was living and working in England as a TV Executive when a job offer - and the lure of the Californian sunshine - drew him and his wife (Jules) Stateside.
Now based in Los Angeles, Crispin has devised and produced many projects for the US and UK TV networks. Recently he's been able to bring his extensive poker knowledge to the small screen. He is the Consulting Producer for 'I Bet You' (starring Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandari), the Poker Producer for Celebrity Poker Showdown and he is the host for a new poker reality show 'No Limit' which is currently going to market.
Without knowing it at the time, Crispin had the perfect training to become a professional poker player. At school he took summer jobs at Ladbrokes Bookmakers and developed an instinctual understanding of odds and risk-taking. He has always had the 'games gene' and was the Oxfordshire Junior chess champion. And he has a degree in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics.
Since combining all those elements and recognizing that No Limit Tournament Texas Hold'em is the ultimate game, Crispin has never looked back and has enjoyed constant success both live and particularly on-line.
He has become an instrumental part of the WPT Boot Camp. He has instructed at over 40 Camps across America and his expertise in on-line play adds a vital element to the camp. He has written regularly for Bluff Magazine and appeared on the popular poker radio show 'Rounders'.
This year he and his wife set up a poker consultancy and tuition business - Poker's Pair of Aces - and they give private tuition from the comfort of their Hollywood Hills home.
For all his many wins at the poker table including recent cashes at WSOP, The LA Poker Classic & the Bahamas 'Battle for the Season Pass', Crispin is most proud of the successes of his students who have gone on to make literally hundreds of thousands of dollars and beaten world class fields in WSOP and WPT tournaments across America.
