J.C. Tran (above) had a good run at the 2009 WSOP Main Event...
We’ve had a surprising lack of photos of the
spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran during his
2009 WSOP Main Event run.
And now he’s been eliminated in 104th place. So as a tribute to one of our favorite players, above are pics from of J.C.’s latest photo shoots (more here).
Closing in on dinner break, Billy Kopp still has the chip lead and both Nichoel Peppe and Leo Margets are alive.

Our favorite photo of J.C. Tran and his spectacular breasts.
As the spectacularly-breasted JC Tran knows all too well, the best things in life come in pairs.
And we’re not just talking about great boobs here. Or hot twins. Or a couple of sex-addicted supermodels strung out and naked in your hotel suite. Or two lipstick lesbians looking to spice things up with an Entity or two. Or three.
No, unfortunately we’re talking about WSOP bracelets.
Last night, the nicely-paired Tran finally paired the WSOP bracelet he won last year, and he did so in impressive fashion, outlasting a talented final table in Event No. 30 ($2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha) that included John Juanda, Theo Jorgensen, Chad Layne and two of the UK’s best pros (is that saying much?), Jeff Kimber and Hendon Mob-ster Ross Boatman. Along with his second career WSOP bracelet, Tran takes home $235,685 for the victory.
This is Tran’s third cash at this year’s series and his 26th WSOP cash overall. He now has nearly $7.8 million in tournament winnings.
Finishing in second was Kimber who earned $145,656. Boatman finished fourth and Jorgensen and Juanda were the first to go from the final table, finishing 8th and 9th, respectively. Complete payouts here.
In honor of Tran winning his second WSOP bracelet, boobs.

The spectacularly-bested J.C. Tran (above) tries to make it two bracelets in two years today. More pics from this shoot linked below.
Some ho-hum winners yesterday but also lots of top pros in contention in a number of tourneys today. Here’s the run-down:
:: Event #28 ($1,500 NLH): Mike Eise (we’re 100% sure someone will have an Eisey Does It! headline…and hey look whaddaya know) defeated a friends and family final tableTM for his first bracelet and $639,331. Get full payouts and results here.
:: Event #29 ($10,000 NLH Heads-Up): Missing out on a chance to be relevant again, Johnny Chan got KO’d in the quarters, meaning no bracelet #11. Dustin “Neverwin” Woolf was knocked out in the same round. So it’s Brit John Duthieag against U.S. American Leo Wolpert for the title today at 2pm PT. It’s just like high school.
:: Event #30 ($2,500 PLO): Here we go, a solid final table with four bracelet winners. Ross Boatman will take the chip lead into final table play, stacked at 718,000. Also remaining are Theo Jorgensen (419,0000), the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran (above, more pics here, 387,0000), Rami Boukai (325,000), and John Juanda (129,000). Get full chip counts here.
:: Event #31 ($1,500 H.O.R.S.E.): The field of 770 is down to an interesting mix of 23. Fabrice Soulier who eats frog legs is chip leader with 351,000. He’s followed guy-with-hot-porn-star-girls’-name-searching-for-first-bracelet Shannon Shorr with 32,500. Also still remaining including but are not limited to Joe SeRock (152,500), Vanessa Rousso, a woman (131,000), James Van Alstyne (130,000), NWP’s Bryan Micon, and Paul Darden (Year of the Brother!) 54,500.

:: Event #32 ($2,000 NLH): A field of 1,534 entered the $2k no-limit hold’em event, with around 225 making it to Day 2. Some notable big stacks include Peter “Nordberg” Feldman, Alex Bolotin, and Neil Channing. Get full chip counts here.
:: Event #33 ($10,000 World Championship Limit Hold’em): The final tourney of the day had 185 entrants with 157 making through to today. Jennifer Harman-Traniello, a woman, is the chip leader stacked at 127,600. She’s followed by Maria Hooooooo! (113,400), Josh Arieh (112,100), and Shaun Deeb (106,000).

Liv Boeree is rock and rolling on Day 2 of the $1k Stimulus Special.
Our favorite Brit hottie/poker player Liv Boeree is here on Day 2 of Event No. 4, the $1k Stimulus Special, which is now down from its original 6,012 to 450 or so players battling it out for the event’s $771,106 prize. Boeree was stacked at 26k last we checked and is guaranteed at least a $2,218 cash. After steamrolling to the chip lead yesterday, the spectacularly-breasted JC Tran continues to crush the field today, stacked at 218,000, or 17,818,000 chips from winning.
Check out live reports here. Click away below at photos of Liv from yesterday and today (last one is a GOTR who busted our photog; Liv’s the blurred head).

J.C. Tran’s rack…of chips…is growing and growing at the WPT North American Poker Championship.
Day 2 has just gotten underway at the WPT North American Poker Championship, which ironically is still being held in Canada. As of post time, 246 of the 454 starting field remain.
Lee Markholt-Watkinson, aka the Tyler Durden to Lee Watkinson’s Ed Norton, is sitting with the big stack at 198,000. Maybe Watkinson is busy with Hardcore Elegance and couldn’t make it or something, so he unleashed his alter-Markholt-ego. Really, we’ll never know. This Markholt-Watkinson-Hardcore-Elegance thing goes fucking deep, man.
Markholt-Watkinson is closely followed by November NineTM hostage Darus Suharto, who we totally forgot was even a captive, with 193,000. Seriously we’d have a better chance naming Iranian hostage crisis members than November NineTM hostages right now.
NN = Chino Rheem. Dennis Phillips. Errr. IHC = Michael Metrinko? Richard Queen? Mike Eruzione? It’s close.
Other big named to somewhat recognizably named big stacks include the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran (above, 159,300), Erik Cajelais (109,800), Pat Pezzin (107,500), Matt Matros (106,900), Vivek Rajkumar (99,600), Mike McDonald (87,000), Joe Sebok (84,700), Barry Greenstein (81,300), Vanessa Rousso (72,100), and Erik Seidel (71,800).

We might as well just call this post the J.C. Tran All-Star Boob Spectacular.
In honor of the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran winning his first WSOP bracelet, this post will be a little overboard on the cleavage. We imagine many, many browsers in Corporate America will be quickly minimizing right now.
Tran overcame a Double-D sized chip disadvantage in heads-up play to capture the Event #49 ($1,500 No Limit Hold’em) title. For the win, Tran banked $631,053. Get full final table payouts here. Click the thumbnails for the full sized version of the photos. More pics after the jump. We’ll work on getting J.C. himself to be our Friday Night Parting Shots.
