John Bon Phan

John "Razor" Phan, born of Vietnam, started playing cards when he was 16. He first played low-limit (2-4, 3-6) for fun, but as he grew older he realized the earning potential in the game and decided to play profesionally.

John says his family did not at first approve of choice to turn pro, but grew to accept his decision. Maybe the millions of dollars he's won at the table have something to do with that. Despite his chosen career and decided sucess, Phan says it's not all about the money, calling it a "game of mind."
