Dan Harrington (born December 6, 1945 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a professional poker player, best known for winning the main event world championship at the 1995 World Series of Poker. He has earned one World Poker Tour title, two WSOP bracelets, and over six million dollars in tournament cashes in his poker career. He is also a member of the Poker Hall of Fame.^[1]

Harrington chose his own nickname "Action Dan" even though he is known for being a tight conservative player.^[2] He is a distant cousin to both professional golfer Pádraig Harrington and former NFL quarterback Joey Harrington.^[3]

Early life and business career[link]

Harrington was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Currently residing in Santa Monica, California, Harrington is a former champion backgammon player and U.S. chess master (he won the 1971 Massachusetts State Chess Championship). Before becoming a poker professional and businessman, Harrington worked for many years as a bankruptcy lawyer. He also played poker against Bill Gates while Gates was at Harvard. Some of his earlier poker experience came from the Mayfair Club in the mid-1980s, where he played with Howard Lederer, Steve Zolotow, and Erik Seidel.

In addition to being a successful professional poker player, Harrington also works in real estate and the stock market. Currently, Harrington also owns and operates his own company, Anchor Loans, which makes various types of loans and has suffered no loss since its creation, according to an interview given by Harrington. He has also stated during interviews about his poker career, that he is there for the money, not the fame or glory. Also unlike many professional poker players, Dan considers himself only a part-time player, since he spends a large amount of his time on his business interests. He usually only plays a few events at the World Series of Poker each year and plays in occasional World Poker Tour events and a few other tournaments.

Poker career[link]

Harrington first cashed in the World Series of Poker in 1986. The next year, in only his second WSOP cash, Harrington made the final table of the Main Event. He finished in 6th place in the event which was won by Johnny Chan. Harrington's friend and fellow Mayfair Club member, Howard Lederer was also at this final table, finishing in fifth place.

Sporting his iconic green Boston Red Sox cap, Dan Harrington is known as a crafty, tight-aggressive player, employing starting hand standards that are stricter than most professionals. When he reached the final table at the 1995 main event, he set the runner-up, Howard Goldfarb, to bluff for all his chips in the final hand. At the time of his victory in the main event, Harrington lived in Downey, California.

The same year as his main event win, he also won a bracelet in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event for $249,000 and the Seven-card stud event at European Poker Open in London. He made his first final table at the World Poker Tour (WPT) in 2005, winning $620,730 for his second place finish to Minh Ly in the Doyle Brunson North American Championship. In 2007, he won the Legends of Poker for a prize of $1,634,865.

In 2008, Harrington made his first appearance on the NBC show Poker After Dark in the episode titled "Mayfair Club." This tournament brought together poker players who had played at the legendary Mayfair Club in New York City. The other players in the tournament with Harrington included professional poker players Howard Lederer, Mickey Appleman, Steve Zolotow, Jay Heimowitz, and Mike Shictman, the owner of the Mayfair Club for many years. Harrington busted out first, finishing in 6th place. The tournament was won by Jay Heimowitz who defeated Howard Lederer in heads-up play.

His solid play allows him to make it to many final tables at large events. He won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event in 1995 for $1,000,000. He has made three other main event final tables: placing 6th in 1987 for $43,750, 3rd (out of 839 players) in 2003 for $650,000, and 4th (out of 2,576 players) in 2004 for $1,500,000. Because of the increased number of participants, his run of back-to-back main event final tables in 2003-04 has been called the greatest accomplishment in World Series history, particularly by ESPN poker announcer Norman Chad. As defending champion in 1996, Harrington made another deep run in the main event, finishing in 17th place and earning $23,400. He also cashed in the 2009 main event, finishing in 252nd place for a $32,963 payout.

Harrington, Doyle Brunson, Carlos Mortensen, Scotty Nguyen and Joe Hachem are the only five people to have won the World Series of Poker Main Event and a World Poker Tour title.

As of 2011, his live tournament winnings exceed $6,600,000.^[4] More than half of his live tournament winnings ($3,524,476) have come at the WSOP.^[5]

Harrington is a cousin of Indiana Pacers guard/forward Dahntay Jones.^[1]

Biography[link]

Early life[link]

Harrington grew up in Orange, New Jersey, but then his family moved to Roselle, New Jersey. He played high school basketball at St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, New Jersey. In 1998, he was selected as player of the year by USA Today.^[2][3]

Indiana Pacers[link]

At only 18 years of age, Al was selected by the Pacers with the 25th pick of the 1998 NBA Draft, and spent six seasons with them, primarily coming off the bench. Harrington really began to come into his own in the 2001–02 season, in which he averaged 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, but his season came to an end in a game against the Boston Celtics when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss the final 38 games of the season.

He made a comeback in the 2002–03 season, becoming the only Pacer to play in all 82 games that year. He averaged 12.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game while starting in 37 games. The following season, he boosted his averages slightly to 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and finished second in voting for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award. He was an integral part of the Pacers' first run to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.

Atlanta Hawks[link]

On July 15, 2004, Harrington was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Stephen Jackson^[4] (with whom he would later be traded to Golden State). Harrington finally became a nightly starter, but the Hawks did not fare as successfully as the Pacers did after his departure.

Second run with Pacers[link]

After the 2005–06 NBA season he became a free agent. It was reported that the Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors were suitors. It was originally expected that the Heat would acquire him in a sign-and-trade deal, but Harrington fired his agent,^[5] which put the deal in jeopardy.^[6] On August 22, a deal with the Pacers was finally completed, with the Hawks receiving a 2007 first-round draft pick.^[7] For the 2006–07 season with the Pacers, Harrington wore jersey #32 because his first choice #3 was worn by teammate Šarūnas Jasikevičius (saying it stands for "number three, and it's my second time around").^[8]

Golden State Warriors[link]

On January 17, 2007, Harrington was dealt to the Golden State Warriors along with teammates Stephen Jackson, Šarūnas Jasikevičius, and Josh Powell for Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod.^[9]

New York Knicks[link]

On the eve of the 2008–2009 season, Harrington told coach Don Nelson that he wanted to be traded. Harrington, now with agent Dan Fegan,^[10] stopped playing after November 5, 2008, claiming to have a sore back. On November 21, Harrington was traded to the New York Knicks for guard Jamal Crawford. The same day, Harrington said he expected to pass his physical and to begin playing for the Knicks by early in the next week.^[11] Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson came out with a new footwear line called Protege.^[12]

Denver Nuggets[link]

On July 15, 2010, Al Harrington signed a contract with the Denver Nuggets ^[13]

Evelyn Anne Hart, CC OM FRSC (born April 4, 1956) is a Canadian ballerina and former principal dancer with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.

Born in Toronto, Ontario, she studied dance at the Dorothy Carter School of Dance in London, Ontario and later on at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. Before attending the Royal Winnipeg, though, Miss Hart auditioned for The National Ballet School of Canada in Toronto, Ontario. She was accepted for its preliminary intensive summer session of auditioning for consideration as a student in the year's intensive academic/professional training program at the distinguished National Ballet School, where students train for its parent company the National Ballet of Canada. Unfortunately, Miss Hart did not secure a place for the entire school year at the prestigious National Ballet School of Canada, mostly due to her problems with anorexia nervosa. Miss Hart battled with this pathological eating disorder before returning to ballet, training again, and winning a place for herself at The Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. She joined the Royal Winnipeg Ballet company in 1976, was promoted to soloist in 1978, and to principal dancer in 1979, only three years after she joined.

She was the first Canadian to win gold at the Varna International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria in 1980. The National Ballet of Canada's Martine Van Hamel had already won this same prize in 1966, but although she trained at The National Ballet School of Canada, Miss Hamel was born in Belgium to Dutch parents.

In 2005 Hart left the RWB to dance as a freelance artist. On August 23, 2006 she danced her swan song at the Grand Theatre in London, Ontario. She danced as a guest artist with Toronto's ProArteDanza ending a thirty year career.

Honours[link]

In 1983 she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and was promoted to Companion in 1994. In 2000 she was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame. In 2006, she was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.^[1] She was made a Member of the Order of Manitoba in 2006.^[2]
