Hevad Khan: "Rain" Man

[user25067]

Hevad Khan, known as "RainKhan" online, is a fun player to watch. He was the player with his tournament life on the line when he took his pocket queens against pocket aces and flopped quads. He was also the one who looked across the table on Day 5 as Humberto Brenes put his thumb up and said "all-in" with his A-K. Khan looked down and saw two aces and imitated Brenes' thumbs-up gesture as he moved all in himself. He knocked out the flamboyant Brenes (as well as his collection of sharks) on that hand. Khan is pretty vocal and flamboyant himself, as he has jumped around the room waving his chair over his head to celebrate victory after a big hand.

If you Google "Rain Khan" you'll read his amazing story of playing up to 43 single-table sit-and-goes at once and getting banned by Poker Stars as a "bot." He decided to make a film documenting him playing 28 games at one and sent it to Poker Stars. The film convinced Poker Stars he was for real and his ban was subsequently lifted.

Down to 26 players, Khan currently sits on a 6.3 million stack. His good friend David has moved over to Khan's ESPN Featured Table to root for him.

"RainKhan" is making quite a name for himself this year. Last year in his first Main Event, he got knocked out on the first day. This year he just might make the final table.
