Philip Chun is an American poker player best known for winning Event #1: $550 Mini Mystery Millions at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP). Chun's victory earned him a career-best $400,000 and his first WSOP bracelet.
Chun was one of 20,488 entrants in the $550 Mini Mystery Millions, and he was the last player standing. He defeated Palestine's Jalil Houssain heads-up to capture the title and $400,000 in prize money.
Chun revealed he received coaching from superstar Kristen Foxen, telling PokerNews, "I texted Kristen at 3 a.m. last night once we finished, and arranged to speak to her before play got underway. We talked for about an hour, and everything that she told me put things into perspective. It didn't overwhelm me; it just allowed me to tackle today the way I wanted."
"And honestly, I would not be here holding the bracelet if it wasn't for Kristen as my coach."
Prior to his bracelet win, Chun's largest score weighed in at $88,193, his reward for a victory in a $1,100 NLHE event at The Wynn Signature Series in January 2022. He also cashed in the 2018 WSOP Main Event, finishing 91st for $66,330.
