John Hennigan (born August 10, 1970) is an American professional poker player from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who, in his career, has won four World Series of Poker bracelets and a World Poker Tour (WPT) title.
Daniel Negreanu and Gavin Smith have stated in interviews that they consider Hennigan to be the best player they have faced.
Hennigan is nicknamed "Johnny World" because he is willing to bet on anything in the world. Before specializing in poker, he was also a professional pool player.
Hennigan finished 19th in the 1999 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $10,000 no limit hold'em main event.
In April 2002 he made the final table of the WSOP $1,500 seven-card stud event and won his first bracelet just four days later in the $2,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, taking home the $117,320 first prize after defeating a final table including Men Nguyen and Phil Ivey.
In 2004, he won his second WSOP bracelet in the $5,000 limit hold'em event, defeating a final table that included James McManus, David Chiu and T. J. Cloutier.
Hennigan made another two WSOP final tables in 2005, including a second-place finish in the $5,000 2 to 7 draw lowball limit event, finishing just behind David Grey.
