Alan Pham - SOMUCHPOKER

Australian poker prodigy Alan Pham is not just a rookie but a rising star in the poker world. Kick-starting his career in 2022, the Saint Albans native has already made a significant mark with an impressive USD 809,444 total live earnings. Pham’s journey began at EPT London and quickly led to victory at his first Australian WPT run, where he placed first in the High Roller event at WPT Prime Gold Coast for AUD 70,635 (USD 47,710).

Pham then enjoyed a prolific Asian tour, nabbing the top title in the Superstar Challenge at APT Summer Series Hanoi for an all-time career-high cash-out of VND 1,985,390,000 (USD 84,606). In the same year (2023), Pham managed deep runs at WPT Prime Taiwan, where he placed first in the Main Event Warm-Up and cashed NTD 984,600 (USD 30,840), and at USOP Ha Noi and Da Nang. Pham’s second-biggest win of 2023 was during the Single Day High Roller 8 Max event at APT Hanoi Billions—he placed third and bagged VND 1,368,540,000 (USD 56,395).

So far, Pham has had a spectacular 2024 season, with big wins at USOP Da Nang Part 1 (placing fifth in the High-Roller Megastack for VND 702,600,000 or USD 28,383) and Royal Poker High Roller Week (placing first in the High Roller IV for VND 516,775,000 or USD 20,318).
