Success in the WSOP Main Event is the dream of pretty much every tournament poker player. Some have achieved that dream, making it to the final table and competing on the grandest stage the game has to offer. A select few have had the fortune of winning, immortalizing themselves on banners that hang on the walls of the Amazon Room every year.
No player, however, can match the incredible three-year run put together by Johnny Chan.
A 10-time bracelet winner and participant in high-stakes cash games both televised and not during his career, Chan has plenty to point to when it comes to poker plaudits. But no matter what he accomplishes in this game, it seems more likely than not that he'll be most remembered for what he did in the WSOP Main Event from 1987-1989.
