J.C. Tran, born Justin Cuong Van Tran is an internationally recognised poker player of incredible talent.

Highly respected by most poker professionals, Tran lets his record speak for itself. With career winnings of $10.4 million, not many can argue his skill on the poker felts, and not many professionals want to see him arrive at their table.
Perhaps his career highlight came recently in 2013 when he made it to the final table of the World Series of Poker Main Event, eventually finishing 5th in front of the live TV cameras broadcasting around the world and winning $2.1million.
Vietnam to Sacramento
Born on January 20th 1977 in a quiet village near the coast of Vietnam, Tran moved to Sacramento with his parents and 8 siblings at the age of two.
Born in Vietnam, Tran soon was on the move to the USA when his family moved there when he was just two
His parents began pursuing regular careers to pay for their home and upkeep and Tran went on to study and gain a degree in Business Management Information Systems at California State University in Sacramento.
Tran’s first taste of poker was during his university education with friends, where he went on to play for small pots at home during gatherings and minor events. It wasn’t until 2004 that Tran began pursuing poker as a career choice, where he took part in the World Poker Finals, finishing 5th and walking away in the money.
Respected Poker Professional
During 2008, his reign as one of the in form professional poker players saw him cashing in prize money at 7 events throughout the 2008 World Series of Poker and was named player of the year. On June 30th 2008, Tran won his first World Series of Poker bracelet for winning the $1,500 Holdem event where he bested a field of 2,718 players, taking home $631.170 in winnings.
Later that year, in November, Tran went on to win the Party Poker Premier League III Tournament by playing a final successful hand against his opponent, Tony G, after a gruelling heads-up battle, claiming a $300,000 1st prize.
In mid 2009, Tran again entered the 40th Annual World Series of Poker and claimed his second bracelet for his success in the $2,500 Pot-limit Omaha event in front of a crowd of hundreds of excited spectators.
Tran was in the spotlight of the world media when he made it to the final table of the 2013 World Series of Poker Main event, entering as chip leader and favourite for the most prestigious title in poker.
His success has continued, and on top of his 2 WSOP bracelets he has also won a World Poker Tour event and accumulated career earnings of $10.4 million.
Perhaps his biggest moment came recently in 2013, when he navigated through a field of 6,352 in the most prestigious tournament of the year, the WSOP Main Event to make it to the final table, famously known as part of the “November Nine” as the tournament breaks in July after reaching the final 9 players and then they return later in the year in November, for a glitzy final table which is broadcast live on ESPN and around the world. Tran finished 5th taking home a prize of $2.1million.

Tran emerged victorious from a formidable lineup, including Dunst, who came up just short in his bid to win his first career WSOP Circuit ring. After a two-hour heads-up battle, the final hand came down to Dunst with ace-ten offsuit against Tran's pocket queens, with Tran's premium pair holding up.
'I actually haven’t had too many hours with Tony. He played really well,' Tran said. 'It came down to me having queens and he had ace-ten. Tony’s a great player, I have a lot of respect for him. He’s similar to me in some ways, he doesn’t play a ton of these tournaments, because he’s doing stuff with WPT and whatnot.'
