Loading ...Johnny Chan
Chan became a professional poker player after he moved to Las Vegas from Houston. Chan is originally from Canton in China, but his family moved to the U.S for a better chance at a good life. It was in Houston that they lived and worked until Chan was 21. He dropped out of school and came to live in Las Vegas where he remains to this day.
Chan has actually inspired poker hands in movies! The hand he played in the final of the WSOP in 1988 is featured as the main event in the Hollywood movie ‘Rounders’. Chan has also won the World Series of Poker in 1987, making him a winner twice in two years!
Chan to this date has an incredible 10 WSOP bracelets and is tied with Doyle Brunson for the player with the most WSOP bracelets. His winnings at the moment are over a massive amount of $4 million! This figure will be set to rise as he continues to this day to play and win in many poker competitions.
Chan loves to intimidate people at the same poker table. He feels it improves and psyches out the other players perfectly. As he is one of the poker circuits’ most legendary players; you would have thought that was intimidation enough!
Here’s a couple of videos of him! Here he iswith a huge laydown:-
