David Chiu just won $3.3M at the Five Star World Classic Poker Classic / WPT World Championship Season 6. He’s no stranger to the winner’s circle, having seven first-place finishes in his career, including four WSOP bracelets. He already had $2.6M in tournament earnings before the WPT Championship, and is considered one of the best limit holdem players in the world.

Chiu is also considered to be one of the best pros at reading opponents. He attributes this to a swimming accident that left him partially deaf. He had to start to watch people more closely for their reactions, and brought this skill to the poker table.

He had seven cashes last year, for over $100,000 in winnings in many different poker variations including no-limit holdem, pot limit Omaha, 7 Card Stud and H.O.R.S.E. He’s made numerous televised appearances, but the WPT win will put him with the elite in the game.
