Bill Chen Bio

 
Many poker players list math as a strong suit but few can match with Bill Chen's abilities. Chen graduated from U.C. Berkeley with a PhD in mathematics. He has done extensive work in the math behind poker and authored the Chen Formula, a way to rank poker hands which was published.

Chen doesn't just crunch numbers, he already has more than $950,000 in lifetime earnings. In 2006, Chen won two World Series of Poker bracelets; his first was in limit hold'em and worth $343,618. His second came less then two weeks later when he took down a no-limit hold'em short handed event for $442,511.

Chen is a member of team PokerStars.
