WSOP 2011 Grudge match 1 Hellmuth Vs Chan VIDEO

Sammy Farha and Johnny Chan were handed the chance to gain revenge for main event defeats during the WSOP 2011 Grudge Matches yesterday.

Johnny Chan has two bracelets from previous WSOP main events, but he is probably best remembered for the one that got away when a then 24-year-old Phil Hellmuth defeated him to lift the WSOP 1989 title and halt the Chinese star’s chance of a third straight victory following successes in 1987 and 1988.
