Hevad “Rain” Khan is a 22-year-old professional poker originally from Poughkeepsie, NY.  He attended college at the State University of New York-Albany.  He has since moved around the country, living in both the San Francisco bay area, and Las Vegas.  Khan’s claim to fame before arriving at this final table was his extraordinary ability to play multiple poker games simultaneously.  In what can only be described as a prodigal Bobby Fischer-like capability, Khan has played in as many as 43 poker games all at once on his home computer.  Today, he must play in just one poker game – the biggest and most glamorous event in the world for the world championship.  Khan arrives eighth in the chip count at the start of the final table.
