Since Eslami's appearance at the Legends of Poker WPT Season 2 in 2003, he has gone on to pocket over $200,000 with over 14 cash showings in tournament play. Eslami is primarily a cash game player, however, playing chiefly in high-limit poker games in Los Angeles.
In June 2007, Ali Eslami took 5th in the 2007 World Series of Poker, $2,500 H.O.R.S.E event.
Following his showing in the 2007 WSOP event, Eslami appeared alongside fellow professional poker player Phil Laak in July 2007 to participate in a competition against Polaris, the University of Alberta poker bot. The matches consisted of 500 hands with 4 matches total and 16 hours of cumulative play, in Texas Hold'Em poker.
