The
2008 H.O.R.S.E. World Champion is Scotty Nguyen. He is from
Henderson, NV. Nguyen won the WSOP Main Event in 1998. This
was his fifth WSOP gold bracelet. Despite his extraordinary
success in tournament poker for more than a decade, Nguyen suffered
through one of his lowest points following last year’s
meltdown, which resulted in an 11th place finish in the 2007
Main Event. At one point, Nguyen seemed primed to go much deeper
in last year’s championship and many say he should have
won. But Nguyen went through a horrific two-hour phase late
on the preceding day to the final table and was eliminated.
So distraught with disappointment, Nguyen reportedly did not
eat regularly for months afterward. He was physically ill. He
lost 15 pounds and refused to leave the house ...
The
2008 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’em World Champion is Kenny
Tran, from Arcadia, CA. He is a professional poker player, who
has specialized in high-limit cash games most of his career.
Tran collected $539,056 for first place. He also earned his
first WSOP gold bracelet. This was his 12th WSOP career cash.
Tran has an amazing story. He was born in Vietnam. He once worked
at McDonalds. When he turned 21, he worked as a poker dealer.
Tran gradually moved up through the ranks to the point where
he now routinely plays for six-figure sums amongst the toughest
competition in the world ...

Kalmar from Chorleyville, England landed a seat in the 2007
