WSOP Day #7 Review: It’s All About Tuan Le

Lee Davy brings you up to speed with the main news stories on Day 7 of the 46th Annual World Series of Poker, including an amazing back-to-back victory for LA’s Tuan Le.

Tuan Le stepped beneath poker’s dazzling glare, when as a 27-year old he captured two World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event titles in a matter of a few mesmerizing months.

That was back in 2004, when WPT Main Event winners were banking seven figure scores for fun. Le was no exception, picking up $1.5m for his first victory, and $2.8m for his second. I don’t care what kind of backing deal Le had, or if he had any at all, that kind of money hands you a poker bankroll for life.

Then Le steps away from the light instead preferred the shadows of the Commerce Casino. Night after night Le takes his seat and plays his cash games. The young man who once won over $4m on the WPT.
