Welcome to the Party Action Dan

You don't see Dan Harrington on the tournament circuit too much these days, but the 1995 World Series of Poker Main Event champ always makes it out for the Main Event. We recently spotted Harrington, a former attorney and the 1971 Massachusetts State Chess Champion, in the field over at Table 379.

Since making back-to-back final tables in the 2003 and 2004 WSOP Main Events, where he finished third and fourth respectively, "Action Dan" has been a favorite among poker fans. He's also gained quite a bit of notoriety through his acclaimed Harrington on Hold'em series of instructional poker books.

Harrington is one of four past Main Event champs in today's field alongside Doyle Brunson (1976 & 1977), Scotty Nguyen (1998) and Greg Raymer (2004).
