David Levi (Hebrew: דוד לוי; born 2 December 1962, in Tel Aviv, Israel) is an Israeli professional poker player and former professional footballer who in his poker career has won over $2.6 million in live tournaments.[1]

Levi, who was born and raised in Israel, was a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces and then later played soccer professionally for Hapoel Ramat Gan. After his soccer career was cut short by a knee injury, he then moved to Los Angeles, California, where he was introduced to poker and was once the roommate of professional poker player and friend Amir Vahedi. A few years later he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he currently resides.[1][2][3]

As of 2020, his total live tournament winnings exceed $4,000,000.[4] His 37 cashes at the WSOP account for $553,434 of those winnings.[5]
