Monday, Jun 9, 2008 Theo Tran First Double Finalist in WSOP 2008

In Event 7 of WSOP 2008, Theo Tran became the first player to make it to double final tables in this year's series. With his two fourth places he shares first place in the WSOP leaderboard.

Theo Tran, with four WSOP cashes to his name before WSOP 2008, made it to his second final table this year in the seventh event, a $2,000 no-limit holdem tournament.

Although, winning fourth probably was no great joy for Tran who only minutes earlier had held the chip lead with four players to go.

He lost a large chunk of his chips against Shannon Shorr's flopped trips of sevens, before his own pocket sevens ran into the jacks of Carter Gill.

According to the points system for the Player of The Year Leaderboard, Theo Tran's two fourth places correspond exactly to Nenad Medic's one win and one 24th place finish

Tran's total winnings so far in this year's series amount to 518 thousand dollars.
