Andrew Chen is a twenty-year-old former student who comes to us from Toronto, Ontario Canada. He says "former student" because he is now a full-time poker pro. He is making a name for himself online, just missing out on four final tables over an eight-week period in the Sunday Majors. He's competent in satellites as well, apparently, as he earned his way into this LAPT event for $215 on PokerStars.
Chen was nearly out of here early on Day 2. He showed up more than twenty minutes late for play, and had just ten big blinds left when he sat down. With the poise of a pro, he worked his stack up through the course of the day, ending on a high note when he eliminated the ninth place finisher to close play last night.
Chen, courtesy of that late knockout, is sitting with 313,000 in chips.
