Daniel Shan

Daniel Shan is an Australian professional poker player with recorded cashes in World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit events held at The Star Sydney. While his overall tournament history is limited in public records, his results show consistent participation in the Australian poker circuit.

Shan has three recorded cashes in WSOP Circuit events at The Star Sydney:

• Event #14: $660 Bounty (December 9, 2019) – 7th place out of 373 entrants, earning A$4,959.
• Event #10: $2,200 Main Event (November 30, 2019) – 107th place out of 1,124 entrants, earning A$4,001.
• Event #1: A$500 Opening Event (November 27, 2018) – 20th place out of 1,444 entrants, earning A$5,022.

During the 2019 The Star Sydney Championships Main Event, Shan was the shortest stack and involved in a three-way all-in. Holding pocket threes, he faced Barry Forrester's hand and another player's hand. The board ran out and Shan tripled up, while Forrester won the side pot. This hand was reported by PokerNews as Shan survived with a triple-up.

Based on the reported hand, Shan demonstrates a willingness to risk his tournament life with small pairs when short-stacked. His WSOP Circuit cashes suggest a solid tournament game, though detailed analysis of his style is limited by available data.

Although not a household name, Daniel Shan represents the competitive Australian poker scene, regularly participating in major events at The Star Sydney and achieving cashes that demonstrate skill and consistency.
