The Brooklyn, NY, native started out like most playing online before Black Friday but since has made a steady career playing live cash games and tournaments.
In fact, Chan has plenty of experience with tough final tables having finished third in the 2012 Borgata Winter Poker Open against one of the toughest final nines ever assembled there.
Chan hovered around the middle of the chip counts for most of Day 7 but he'll begin play again in November as the virtual short stack only slightly ahead of Italian Federico Butteroni.
