Johnny Chan is a recognized figure in the realm of professional poker with an array of accomplishments. His proficiency in the game became evident when he won 10 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, including consecutive wins in the main events of 1987 and 1988, marking him as the first foreign national to achieve this feat. Further establishing his authority in the field, Chan was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2002. His prowess is not confined to the WSOP as he demonstrated his skill on NBC's "Poker After Dark," where he holds the record for the most victories with four wins.

Chan's influence in the poker world extends to the silver screen as well, where he played himself in both the 1998 movie "Rounders" and the 2009 Hong Kong film "Poker King." Outside of poker, Chan is a successful entrepreneur, owning a fast-food franchise in the Las Vegas Stratosphere Hotel. Utilizing his extensive knowledge of the gambling industry, Chan serves as a consultant for casinos and game makers, providing insight and expertise from his years in professional poker.

Chan has shared his knowledge and experiences through various mediums. He contributed to Card Player magazine and Trader Monthly magazine, providing readers with a glimpse into the strategic mind of a professional poker player. In collaboration with Mark Karowe, Chan released the book "Play Poker Like Johnny Chan" in 2005, followed by "Million Dollar Hold'em: Winning Big in Limit Cash Games" the next year.
