Jim Bechtel is the most quiet player in the WSOP history. He was rather popular in late 80-ies because of his wins in 1986, 1988 and 1989 when he finished in the money at the main event. Jim Bechtel won only one WSOP bracelet. In 1993 he took $1,000,000. Now he lives in Arizona and doesn’t play in many tournaments. He chooses only the biggest ones: WSOP and some WPT events.
