John Hanson is based in New York and in a short time has already established himself as one of the premier mixed game players in the country. Hanson is best known for his 3rd place finish in the 2007 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship which was one by Freddy Deeb. Hanson secured $852,480 and since that day hasn’t managed another WSOP cash result until now. He’ll be looking to go a couple of places further here today as he starts in fourth chip position with 1.7 million chips.
