Dan Harrington has had success in a variety of games of skill, including chess and bankgammon. Oh, and poker, too, as he won the Main Event of the World Series of Poker in 1995 and (perhaps more impressively) made back-to-back final tables at the Main Event in 2003 and 2004.
Formerly a bankruptcy lawyer, Dan Harrington is the author of “Harrington on Hold’em,” a 3-part series on No Limit Texas hold’em tournaments. He currently lives in Santa Monica, CA.
