An Tran (born July 29, 1952) is a Vietnamese-American professional poker player, now living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Poker career
Tran began playing poker in the mid-1970s and first finished in the money of a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event in 1989 in the $2,000 no limit hold 'em event.[1] In the same year he finished 24th in the $10,000 no limit hold'em Main Event.[2]
Tran has made numerous final tables since then, and won a WSOP bracelet in the 1991 $1,500 pot limit Omaha event, defeating Chris Björin in the final heads-up confrontation.[3]
In 1992, Tran set the all-time record for paid final tables in one year with 6. Despite this, he failed to finish higher than 3rd in any event that year.[4]
Tran also made one final table in the WSOP main event, finishing 5th in 1996.[5] He narrowly missed out on winning a second WSOP bracelet in 2004 when he finished 2nd to John Hennigan in the $5,000 limit hold'em event.[6]
Tran has been under what he calls a "curse" after selling his one and only World Series of Poker bracelet for an undisclosed amount. Since selling the bracelet, Tran has not won another WSOP event.
Tran made a World Poker Tour (WPT) final table in January 2006, finishing 5th in the Gold Strike World Poker Open.[7]
As of 2016, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,725,000.[4] His 43 cashes at the WSOP account for $934,194 of those winnings.[8]
