"The Master" Johnny Chen wins the 1987 World Series of Poker over Frank Henderson. This video shows the final hand where Henderson pushes all-in with his pocket 4's and Chan calls him with A9.

The flop and turn are great for Henderson, but the river is very unkind.

This was Chan's FIRST WSOP win. It comes the year before he beat Erik Seidel heads up - the clip that is played in the movie "Rounders".

Chan won back to back WSOP's in 1987 and 1988. He almost won a 3-peat in 1989, but finished second to the "Poker Brat" Phil Hellmuth.

  • he must think aces are low

  • @Away2Write The only club that would have helped Chan was the Ace of clubs. He needed an Ace or 9 only.

  • @PrettyBoyFalco

    Gabe Kaplan is the best poker-commentator ever. for me its not because of his comedy aspects, he is the best because the way how he commentates situations nearly perfectly. (for example hsp)

    he is in the poker szene (as player and commetator) for over 30 years now, thats one of the aspects why he understands so much about this game.

  • The commentary was added after the taping and they knew the 9 was coming. Yes they probably knew he needed an A or 9, but they just said "Chan needs a 9 here to win" because that was the card he was going to hit.

  • No one is better than Norman Chad.

  • Sorry I said 1988 when it's clearly 1987.

  • Dude you guys need to lay off the commentators. This was 1988 before any kind of poker boom, a normal person would wonder what game the guys were playing. Blackjack? Because poker is played with 5 cards. Not many people knew much about this game, so give the commentators a break, they're probably better than Norman Chad anyways. Of course doesn't say much since Chad is like the worst commentator ever.

    I found on Full Tilts official blog last saturday you can register an new account on their web site using the bonus code AMERICAS if ya don't presently have 1 with them.I think it's the recommended way if your a beginner to start off.. They will DOUBLE your first deposit also a few other important perks. Sadly only going work for the first 3000 players that register using this

  • @franz909 those 3 are the best no doubt.
