Seat 5: Johnny Chan - 60,500 chips | 2008 PokerStars.net APPT Macau

Johnny Chan is a poker player who needs no introduction. Chan has been playing poker since before many of today's players were born, racking up almost $7 million in career earnings in that time. He has an impressive 42 WSOP cashes on his poker resume, covering all different types of poker variants: hold'em, Omaha, stud, and lowball. Ten of Chan's cashes were first-place finishes; he shares the record for most WSOP first-place finishes with Phil Hellmuth, Jr. Chan also won the Main Event of the WSOP in 1987 and 1988, and is one of only four players to ever win the Main Event more than once.

Chan successfully lobbied last night for play to be consolidated into one ten-handed table rather than two five-handed tables. He will start the day with just 20 big blinds and will need to chip up aggressively if he hopes to take down this tournament.
