Poker professional James Chen may not be a familiar face to many who do not play poker in Macau on a regular basis, but he has been making waves recently on the tournament poker scene. Oh, and he’s also the mastermind behind popular poker results tracking app RunGood.
Chen started Day 2 of PokerStars Championship Macau as the fifth largest stack, which is no mean feat when you consider the caliber of the field. However, with over $1.2 million in live career tournament earnings, this is not Chen’s first rodeo.
The Taiwanese player has already enjoyed a great deal of success in Macau, specifically in high roller events, taking down the September 2015 MPC23 HK$80,000 High Roller for a cool US$219,850 – his third ever live tournament cash according to Hendon Mob.
