Chen doesn't just crunch numbers, he already has more than $950,000 in lifetime earnings. In 2006, Chen won two World Series of Poker bracelets; his first was in limit hold'em and worth $343,618. His second came less then two weeks later when he took down a no-limit hold'em short handed event for $442,511.
