1995 WSOP WINNER DAN HARRINGTON
Action" Dan Harrington (born December 6, 1945 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a professional poker player.
Harrington is a former champion backgammon player, U.S. chess master (he won the 1971 Massachusetts State Chess Championship), and bankruptcy lawyer. During his time at Suffolk University, he was part of an MIT team that gained an advantage over casinos at roulette. He also played poker against Bill Gates while Gates was at Harvard. Some of his earlier poker experience came from the Mayfair Club in the mid-80's where he played with Howard Lederer and Erik Seidel.
He has won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event once in 1995for $1,000,000 and has sat at three other final tables at the main event, placing 6th in 1987 for $43,750, 3rd in 2003 for $650,000, and 4th in 2004 for $1,500,000. The same year as his main event win, he also won a bracelet in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event for $249,000 and the Seven-card stud event at European Poker Open in London.
Sporting his iconic green Boston Red Sox cap, Dan Harrington is known as a crafty, tight player, employing starting hand standards that are stricter than most professionals. When he reached the final table at the 1995 main event, he set the runner-up, Howard Goldfarb, to bluff for all his chips in the final hand. When the final table first began, he proposed a nine-way settlement to the other players. He explained how they would each get enough money that they could invest and become rich. Chuck Thompson rejected the idea and told the other players that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a million dollars. One by one, as each player was eliminated, Harrington again tried to sell the idea, even offering investment counseling. There were no takers and eventually he came away with the full million.
Players familiar with Harrington know he plays fewer hands and will frequently fold if another player makes a large bet. His conservative play allows him to make it to many final tables at large events, such as the 2003 WSOP (839 players) and the 2004 WSOP (2576 players). He made his first final table at the World Poker Tour (WPT) in 2005, winning $620,730 for his 2nd place finish to Minh Ly in the Doyle Brunson North American Championship.
