Chad Brown

Born in New York, Chad Brown worked as an actor in the early 90s. He had minor roles in TV and film, but found it hard to get his big break. Luckily for Chad, years of playing poker in the Italian cafes of the Bronx had given him the skills he needed to supplement his income at local casinos. He was soon making a better living from poker than he could in Hollywood.

His first WSOP* cash came in 1993, when he just missed out on making the final table of the $1,500 Limit Hold’em event. He finished 3rd in the $1,500 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event in 2002 and came close to winning his first bracelet two years later, earning $62,320 for finishing 2nd in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event. A year after, he made two more World Series final tables, cashing for a total of $288,322. Chad also ran good on the WPT in 2006, winning over $450,000 for cash finishes in several events. This included a 9th place finish at the $25,000 Championship. The same year, Chad came 5th at the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour London event, taking home $110,345. He made another World Series runner up finish in 2007, winning $342,777 in the $5,000 No Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball event. He’s also had success online, winning the $5,200 H.O.R.S.E. event in the PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker in 2006, earning $223,150.

Away from the table, Chad hosts the Ultimate Poker Challenge TV show and plays baseball on a regular basis, with friends and ex-pros.

With career earnings of more than $2,000,000, it’s clear that Chad Brown is one of the highest earning players of the last decade. He is a member of Team PokerStars Pro and plays online using the screen name ‘ChadBrownPRO’.
