Johnny Chan
by Jennifer Newell 07/24/2010
Chan's first noted win was in 1982, when he claimed victory in a $10,000 buy-in championship event at the America's Cup of Poker in Las Vegas. It was during that tournament that he gained his nickname "Orient Express" by eliminating 13 of the 16 players in the tournament in less than an hour.

Phil Hellmuth
by Jennifer Newell 07/23/2010
Hellmuth was a force in tournament poker going forward, consistently making final tables and winning tournaments around the United States, but it was at the World Series that he found his greatest and most hailed successes. In 1992, he made five final tables, one of which was a win in a $5K limit hold'em tournament, The following year was a stellar one, as he won three more bracelets and just missed a fourth by one spot, finishing second in a deuce-to-seven draw event while winning the other three in hold'em.

A college degree in Communications can lead to a number of careers, but most graduates don't use it at the poker tables. However, the ability to communicate - verbally and nonverbally - across various cultures and mediums, can give a poker player a distinct advantage at the tables.

Jimmy D'Ambrosio
by Jennifer Newell 07/19/2010
More of an entrepreneur than a poker player, Jimmy D'Ambrosio, sometimes referred to as Jimmy D, spends much of his time building businesses but always seems to find time to play high-stakes poker and improve his game through associations with poker players like Phil Hellmuth, Jamie Gold, and others he's met along the way.
