Johnny Chan is arguably the world’s most famous professional poker player. With two World Series of Poker championship titles (1987 and 1988) under his belt and impressive ownership of 10 WSOP bracelets, his career achievements far surpass what most players can only dream about. Although now considered one of the industry’s elite high rollers with an enormous fan base and an extravagant lifestyle, Chan’s road to success was not always a smooth course.
Still relatively unknown on the tournament trail, Chan boldly entered into Bob Stupak’s America’s Cup Tournament. By the end of the tournament, Chan had knocked out 13 out of 16 players in a little over 30 minutes. It was then that Chan was quickly nicknamed ‘The Orient Express.’
Chan’s playing style is extremely aggressive. He has been called a bully at the table more than once—and it has only served him well. In 1987, he won the main event at the World Series of Poker and went on to successfully defend his title again in 1988.
Poker enthusiast and Los Angeles Lakers owner, Jerry Buss, was so impressed with Chan’s history-making performances that he promised that if Chan had a three-peat he would reward him with an NBA championship ring. Amazingly, Chan almost did just that. In 1989, Chan went face-to-face at the final table with the relatively unknown underling, Phil Helmuth, who ended up winning the tournament that year.
