Hevad Khan: from Street Fighter to World Series of Poker
July 18th, 2007
Heard of Hevad Khan before? Didn’t think so. The 22-year-old from New York just finished 6th at the World Series of Poker, walking away with a cool US$956,000. His brutal training regime leading up to the event saw him playing 26 tables of Poker online simultaneously, but his talent doesn’t end there. He’s played both Street Fighter and Starcraft at a competitive level, and has been clocked playing Starcraft at a whopping 500 actions per minute. Of course, people with this kind of horsepower under the hood tend to be a little odd, and Hevad doesn’t disappoint - after taking the chip lead on Day 5 of the World Series he screamed, put a chair on his head and said “Do you like my new hat? Does it look good?”
