Biography & Poker Background

Originally from Austria, Tran has established himself as a versatile “nomad” player, traveling extensively between European hubs like Vienna and the booming poker markets of East Asia. While he maintains strong ties to the Austrian poker community, he has recently focused his efforts on specialized mixed game formats in Taiwan, Vietnam, and South Korea. His transition to a regular at the Asian Poker Tour (APT) highlights his adaptability to diverse international playing styles and complex game variants beyond standard No Limit Hold’em.

Play Style & Strategy

Duc Hanh Tran is known for a highly technical and disciplined play style, particularly excelling in Mixed Games and Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) variants. His string of victories in 2-7 Triple Draw and Dealer’s Choice formats demonstrates a deep theoretical understanding of niche games and strong ICM awareness. He is particularly dangerous in turbo and short-handed structures, where he effectively uses his technical knowledge to apply pressure on opponents who may lack depth in non-Hold’em variants.
