2007 World Series of Poker "Eclectic" Havad "Rain" Khan
You know the type in High School....class clown. That's what Havad "Rain" Khan is being labeled at the final table of the 2007 World Series of Poker. The 22 year old Internet player - sponsored by PokerStars.com - comes to us from Poughkeepsie, New York, and he is perhaps the most colorful character at the final table.
Khan is being described as one of the more eclectic and likeable people participating in this year's WSOP.
He describes himself as a "ten option light switch".
According to the PokerStars Blog, Khan was once believed to be an online bot. Hardly!
Hevad "RaiNKhaN" Khan is an imposing and excitable figure who is a PokerStars VIP Club Supernova. Once accused of being a poker bot, RaiNKhaN is famous for being able to play dozens of SNGs at the same time on a single 17" monitor. RaiNKhaN has developed quite a following here after proving to be the most animated character left in the event. This is RaiNKhaN's second trip to the World Series main event. He now stands to make more money than he ever has before.
Khan had 9,205,000 chips by the time the final table had been decided.
"I like to chip up as much as possible," Kahn told PokerListings.com. If I'm not at the top of the chip counts or the chip leader I lose my confidence and I lose my morale and I don't feel like I'm giving myself a chance to win. I know that's not entirely true though. If you can survive until the blinds get big and win a couple races.
"For the last two and a half years I've been playing Sit n Gos and all you're doing is racing because you have so few chips. I just don't want to do it anymore. I want a more secure income and so what happens is that you try to minimize the gamble as much as possible. But sooner or later you're going to have to gamble. But if I have to gamble I love to do it early so at least I can go home and do something else."
In terms of what some deem to be "crazy play", Khan says he's "really aggressive".
"But I think I'm probably just tight-aggressive. Most people would probably say that about me."
