He has a professional live poker career spanning over 35 years! He has a best live cash of $750,000, total live poker winnings of nearly $9 million, 10 prestigious WSOP gold bracelets to his name, 2 WSOP Main Event titles (1987 and 1988) to his name and was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2002.
The person we are talking about is Chinese-American, pro Johnny Chan. The 61-year old legendary player is now in the news for having joined No Limit Coin Poker, the first rake-free crypto online poker room, based on the Evenbet poker platform. He has joined the crypto-platform as its brand ambassador.
The founders of this online poker room claim to be the first rake-free platform and the founders have designed a business model to make money without having to charge their players rake. Instead, they will earn revenue through the growth of their cryptocurrency, NoLimitCoin (NLCoin).
Over 500 entries were recorded to the first tournament hosted by NLCoin, where the players don’t need to download a software as it is a web-based platform. The players are not only spared from paying rake, but also have a chance to earn profits from the growth of NLCoin.
With Chan as their new ambassador, we could see this brand grow pretty quickly and many more players playing rake-free poker online. This isn’t even the first old-school poker pro to be signed as the face of a poker room recently, with Scotty Nguyen signed as Cryptonia Poker’s brand ambassador in April.
Here’s what Chan tweeted to break the news to his followers:
