Elky and Rekrul are not the only one to switch, the biggest online poker school, Pokerstrategy, sponsor of the last two TSLs was created by members of the German national Brood War team (Korn, schnibl0r, Strafe, etc.)

a lot of ex competitive BW players now play poker.
Some of the more "famous" BW players in the high stakes include: Elky, Rekrul (Daniel Schreiber), RainKhan (Hevad Khan), BigBalls (Ryan Daut), Schnibl0r (Simon Münz), Grrr (Giyom Patry), Raszi ( Lex Veldhuis) and a few others that have escaped me.
Then there are a lot more players who make a decent amount of money live/online from the BW scene. www.LiquidPoker.net is the poker branch of TeamLiquid. (The Sports & Game Section of TeamLiquid was almost all to do with poker so they created LiquidPoker.
