No, that’s not a typo. I know what you’re thinking. How could JC Tran not have a WSOP bracelet? He’s won multiple World Poker Tour titles, but never a WSOP bracelet. Well, he took down his first tournament at the WSOP and earned $631,170 to go with his fine piece of jewelry, dominating the $1500 No Limit Holdem event.

JC Tran has had an exceptional 2008 with millions in tournament cashes. He defeated Rasmus Nielsen heads up for the title and an extra $250k. Notable Joe Pelton went out in 5th place. This tournament had 2718 entrants. Congratulations, JC! Here are the official results:

1 - $631,170 - JC Tran
2 - $389,557 - Rasmus Nielsen
3 - $278,255 - John Conroy
4 - $233,734 - Peter Nguyen
