TRIUMPH FOR TRAN IN CHAN POKER CLASSIC

$325 000 payday for poker pro

The inaugural Annual Johnny Chan Poker Classic at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, B.C. ended this week with a triumph for poker pro Henry Tran and a winner's prize of $325 000.

By the time Tran sat down for the heads up with Joe Corbett he was $2 million ahead in chips, and the final action of the largely pro tournament was brief and professional through to the final hand, where Tran challenged Corbett with K-8 against K-6. No help came for Corbett and Tran took the honours, leaving Corbett with a consolation second prize of $200 000.

The event was the culmination of a thriller of a tournament that featured great poker names like the Johnny Chan himself, Brad "Yukon" Booth, prodigy Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke, Greg "FBT" Mueller and Lacey Jones.
