Dan Harrington wins Legends of Poker!

“Action” Dan Harrington took down the prestigious 2007 World Poker Tour Legends of Poker tournament, beating out some great players along the way such as David Pham and Joe Sebok. Dan, as you all know, is the crusty-looking old fella who has a wealth of poker knowledge the size of the Library of Congress brewing beneath his trademark Irish-green hat. He wrote the seminal books Harrington on Holdem I and Harrington on Holdem II (highly recommended) which gave players an intimate look into the detailed analysis Dan puts into each and every hand he plays. He also holds the distinction of final tabling the World Series of Poker main events two years in a row (2003-4), outlasting the constant land mines of massively large fields now present even at the $10,000 buy-in levels, with a World Championship victory in 1995. Harrington took home over $1.6 mil in prize money, including two guaranteed seats into WPT events next year as well. I’m a fan of Harrington’s analytical style for the most part, excluding his views on pocket pair strengths and some of his “tighter” by-the-numbers outlooks but it is hard to aruge with results. Good game sir!
