J.C. Tran from Sacramento, CA won Event 30 $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2009 World Series of Poker and took home $235,685 in prize money.
After the tournament, Tran claimed that his win in the 2008 WSOP helped him to win a second gold bracelet:
"Yes, definitely. Getting that first bracelet out of the way takes a lot of pressure off you. I definitely would not want to finish second here. It's a horrible feeling. But the win last year meant the pressure was off. I was more comfortable and more relaxed when I cam in. My head was clear. I was not too worried about trying to win. Just play poker and let it come to me, instead of forcing it. And, it came to me," Tran said.
