MACAU, CHINA, July 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After getting a taste of the Asian Poker Tour's event in Macau last year, Johnny Chan will be back this August 12th - 23rd for more.

Despite his recent bad luck and other poker pros trying desperately to break his record, Phil Hellmuth still holds on to the record for most bracelets won at the World Series of Poker.

Poker pro Johnny “The Orient Express” Chan tried winning his 11th career WSOP championship gold bracelet this year, tying Phil “Poker Brat” Hellmuth Jr., but he fell short. Chan, instead, remains at second place, with Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brusnon with 10 right behind him.

Phil Hellmuth, the World Series of Poker bracelet record holder, recently released a new book entitled Deal Me In. The book is considered a “must read” for any poker player due to its nature. Hellmuth gathered 20 of his professional poker playing friends to reveal all of their secrets.
