About Harrington
Harrington used to be a champion backgammon player and bankruptcy lawyer. When he was at Suffolk University he was part of
a MIT team that cheated at roulette.
He also played poker against Harvard University students Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Some of his other early poker
experience came from the Mayfair Club in the mid-80's where he played with Howard Lederer and Erik Seidel.
Harrington's biggest win came with the 1995 World Series of Poker main event, netting him $1 million. As of 2004, he has
won nearly $3.6 million in tournament play and has 2 WSOP bracelets.
Harrington has always been known as a very tight player. When he reached the final table in the 1995 WSOP, nobody expected
him to win because he rarely takes risks.
Players familiar with Harrington know this and will frequently fold if he makes a large bet.
