YouTube multi-tabling sensation Hevad Khan - otherwise known on PokerStars.com as RaiNKhaN - was just 22 years old when he made his way to the biggest game in town.
Khan final-tabled the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event eighth in chips in a seemingly seamless transition from his favored online sit-and-gos.
In an interview with PokerListings.com, Khan said he's brought his online focus and fun to the Main Event.
"With a $10,000 buy-in and an $8 million first prize I'm going to enjoy every hand I play," he said.
It wasn't enough to win, but it was sufficient to keep the online pro going up until sixth place where he was taken out by Jerry Yang, who was massacring players on his way to winning the championship event.
The $900,000 win will definitely help the professional poker player from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., who has jumped around the country playing the game - from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Mecca of poker, Las Vegas.
Though he seems to have an aptitude for playing live poker, RaiNKhaN is a player known for his ability to multi-table several tournaments - a friend captured Khan playing 26 sit-and-gos for a popular YouTube video - on the single monitor of his home computer. He also is a retired professional Starcraft video game player.
Even if you didn't know who he was, it would be impossible to miss Khan. The PokerStars.com-sponsored pro is gregarious and easily excitable, often acting out for the cameras during the 2007 World Series of Poker.
