SEAT 8: Khac Trung Tran, 29 – Melbourne, Australia [340,000]
Like many young Australian grinders, Khac Trung Tran got into poker by watching the Aussie Millions event at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, before discovering the online game and eventually turning pro. He took up poker five years ago and has now become a regular on the Asia/Pacific circuit, notching his most memorable result at the APT event in Manila this year. He beat a 205-player field to the $124,000 first prize, but has a number of five-figure scores. He says he won all his flips en route to the final table here, and will hope to win some more in order to overcome a relatively short stack at the final.
