John Hennigan AKA: "Johnny World"

John "World" Hennigan is originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. John is nicknamed "Johnny World" because he is willing to bet on anything in the world.

The following month John finished 4th in the inaugural World Poker Tour (WPT) World Poker Finals event won by Gus Hansen.

He defeated Erik Seidel heads-up to a $216,000 prize. He also finished 5th in the same event in 2003.

John won his second WSOP bracelet in the $5,000 limit hold'em event in 2004, when he defeated a final table that included James McManus, David Chiu and T.J. Cloutier.
