Johnny Chan Wins PSIT 3 TablePoker Pro Advances to the Next Round of Eight Players |
|
Johnny Chan, the number 10 seed out of 16 in the first round of the Poker Superstars Invitational 3 tournament series that's being aired Sundays on FSN, has made it into the round of eight.
Chan won Sunday night, besting an all-star group of Antonio Esfandiari, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, and Phil Hellmuth. Chan won the table despite coming in with $300,000 less in chips than table leader Esfandiari, who was rewarded with more chips for finishing the first round second in points.
The battle between Ferguson, Hellmuth, and Esfandiari will be shown next week. The winner of that table will also advance to the round of eight. Card Player magazine CEO Jeff Shulman and Mike "the Mouth" Matusow are already through.
