An Tran (born July 29, 1952 in Saigon) is a Vietnamese-American professional poker player, now living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tran began playing poker in the mid-1970s and first finished in the money of a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event in 1989 in the $2,000 no limit hold 'em event. In the same year he finished 24th in the $10,000 no limit hold'em main event.
Tran has made numerous final tables since then, and won a WSOP bracelet in the 1991 $1,500 pot limit Omaha event, defeating Chris Bjorin in the final heads-up confrontation.
Tran also made one final table in the WSOP main event, finishing 5th in 1996. He narrowly missed out on winning a second WSOP bracelet in 2004 when he finished 2nd to John Hennigan in the $5,000 limit hold'em event.
Tran has been under what he calls a "curse" after selling his one and only World Series of Poker bracelet for an undisclosed amount. Since selling the bracelet Tran has not won another.
Tran made a World Poker Tour (WPT) final table in January 2006, finishing 5th in the Gold Strike World Poker Open.
As of 2009, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,600,000.[1] His 43 cashes at the WSOP account for $934,194 of those winnings.[2]
Tran is single, but has two children.
