Seat 9 - Johnny Chan
Seat 9 - Johnny Chan
Johnny Chan is one of only three players to win ten WSOP bracelets-- an elite club that includes the legendary Doyle Brunson and fellow final tablist Phil Hellmuth. "The Orient Express" won back-to-back WSOP Main Event titles in 1987-1988, a feat that is unlikely to ever be repeated. Chan has cashed 39 times at the WSOP, plays in the highest-stakes cash games in the world, and has over $6.4 million in career tournament earnings. Chan can often be found sniffing his signature lucky orange at the tables.
