PartyPoker Premier League
 November 26, 2008, 1:57 pm (3 years ago)World Series of Poker bracelet-winner and APT ambassador started fantastically in the PartyPoker Premier League as the special competition starts its 3 run.
Tran, representing ground-breaking online poker room PKR in the competition, defeated a 2-1 chip deficit and the skills of WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate to collect 10 points and $20,000.
The competition is original in its arrangement, pitting twelve of the world’s top players in opposition to each other. These are the likes of Tony G, Phil Hellmuth, Annette Obrestad, Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott and Tom Dwan.
All twelve players are going to play 6 times in the first-round stages. The top 4 players are going to then go up to the last table with the next 4 battling it out in heads-up matches for the last two seats.
Tran was encouraged by his fellow Asian Poker Tour ambassadors Quinn Do and Nam Le at the competition in London as he topped the first 6-seater heat that as well had Ulliott, Obrestad, Roland de Wolfe and Premier League II winner Andy Black.
Tran stated: “It has been an incredible start but there is a long way to continue. It is so nice to get the 1st win under the belt. I love the arrangement of the Premier League and am thrilled about what will approach.”
