		Player Bio
		Johnny Chan A true "rags to riches" story, Johnny Chan was born in Canton, China and moved around with his family to Hong Kong, Arizona, and finally Houston, Texas. Chan dropped out of college at age 21 to move to Las Vegas and become a professional gambler. Chan is well known for his appearance in one of the most popular poker movies ever Rounders , where he plays himself, and is touted in the movie to be the best player in the world. Chan has an interesting ritual of keeping an orange in front of him during tournaments - Johnny claims the aroma combats the cigarette smoke. Johnny Chan became a Poker Hall of Fame inductee in 2002, complimenting the achievements of a legendary poker career. Chan's achievements include: Ten WSOP bracelets in five different events including No Limit Hold 'em, Limit Hold 'em, Pot Limit Omaha, Deuce to Seven Draw, and Seven Card Stud. One of only two players (himself and Doyle Brunson) ever to win the WSOP two years in a row, in 1987 and 1988 (also finishing second in 1989!) Some of Johnny's most recent successes were his wins in 2003 at the 34th annual WSOP, cashing in more than $382,000. Click here for the Johnny Chan stats page
