Tuan Lam was born on the 1st of January 1966 in Vietnam and after emigrating to canada aged 19 he took on labouring jobs earn his living, but after being laid off from his job in a metal working company, he then had little choice but to take on a job as a card dealer he was offered at a small local game, and immediately began to gain an interest in the game of pocker.
As his pocker game developed he started to set his sights higher and began to look to the World Series as the place to truly test himself. Some successes followed at the WSOP in 2005 and 2006 with cash finishes, his achievment in 2007 however, was a huge step up from anything he had achieved before, especially as he regards himself as primarily a pockerstars.com cash game specialist.
His finish of 2nd place in 2007 earned him over $4.5 million and a great amount respect on the pocker circuit, he has also since become a member of pockerstars.com distinguished team of professional players and plays on their site, mainly in limit cash games.
With his commitments to pockerstars taking him to an increasing number of tournaments as well as his usual, and favoured cash games, he may well be a name to look out for at this years main event too.
Having had such an excellent tournament last year, I am sure many of the top names, and indeed any other player, will be wary of him if they find themselves seated at his pockerstars.com table.
