2006 WSOP Main Event winner; more than $12 million in tournament winnings
THE LINEUP
World champion - it's a title that belongs to a select few poker players. This week's match features six players who all hold that title thanks to taking down poker's most elite event, the WSOP Main Event. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson won the Main Event in 2000 and owns a total of five gold bracelets thanks to his great poker playing abilities. Huckleberry Seed took down the Main Event in 1996, not to mention that he once won a bet for standing on his head for over 50 minutes. Berry Johnston is a true legend of the game and belongs to the Poker Hall of Fame; he won the big dance in 1986 and has cashed in the Main Event the most times in history. Johnny Chan is another poker legend and won back-to-back titles in 1987 and 1988. Jamie Gold was mentored by Chan on his way to taking down the largest Main Event field in history in 1996. Last but not least, we have Phil Hellmuth, holder of a record 11 gold bracelets, including one for the 1989 Main Event. With so much talent gathered around one table, we're sure to be in for one great poker match.
