In the world of poker, it is not easy making a name for ones self as a cash game player. The big tournament players get all the recognition, while the cash game specialists get the respect of their peers. After the 2007 WSOP, Kenny Tran has both.
A resident of Downey, California, Kenny is one of the best cash game players in the world. He has a fearless attitude and an aggressive style of play. But Kenny is more than just a cash game specialist. During 2007, he was out to prove he belongs on the tournament circuit as well.
Kenny had a massive 2007 WSOP. He finished fifth in the $50,000 HORSE event and 16th - out of 6,358 players - in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold 'em Main Event. Kenny also took 16th at the inaugural WSOPE Main Event. All told, he cashed out for nearly $900K from these three events.
With such phenomenal success, Kenny might just have to break himself away from the cash games to play in some more tournaments. Soon enough, Kenny Tran will be known as one of the game’s best all-around players.
