I play lots of 5/10 NL online (not able to go to casinos yet)
Justin Hackett plays a lot.
Steve Zolotow is better known for poker but is also a good bridge player
Barry Greenstein plays some bridge
Bobby Baldwin used to play a lot of bridge
The best all around bridge/poker player is not even close, it's Steve Weinstein. He probably clears 6 figures a year from both games, the only player I know of who does that. He is considered one of the best online NLHE players in the world, and obviously also one of the best bridge players in the world.

No, but an article in the IMP suggested his son might be one soon...
From France there is also Michael Abecassis who has won his share in both.
Somehow Backgammon and Bridge go together well too

Since noone else has mentioned it yet: I rock at yahoo poker, in the "Advanced Lounge" even. I am already at +430 (fake money).

Joaquín de Miguel was a profesional poker & black jack player, I know he can tell you sequences of a hundred cards without a mistake.
His skills weren't very useful on official poker tournaments but he made enough money to retire at unnoficial ones.
He is now a decent bridge sponsor (he counts better than many proffesionals, even the spot cards).
