My Run in with J C Tran!

It was Friday night and i was on the 6/12 table. I was on seat one and Santi was on seat two. His buddy on seat three said this out loud. " Hey we have a celebrity in the house!" (Well something close to this i think is what he said) As i looked over it was JC Tran. Sacramento own poker celebrity. Winner of a WPT event and WSOP bracelet plus many final tables of many different events. Santi joked around and said hey don't you know that guy? I thought you went to high school with him. I corrected him and said no it was Jr. High and High school. He walk through the room and then disappeared. Santi said something like why don't you go say hi or something like that.

I thought man its been like a year since i last saw him. Will he still remember me? Has fame and fortune changed him? or is he still the same o guy from high school? About a hour goes buy and he comes walking back to the room and he hops onto the 5/10 no limit table with a rack. I see him joking around with the guys on the table saying if its ok for him to take this seat before he starts taking everyone money.

Well the table breaks and It doesn't take me long to cash out. While the Santi was cashing out i decided well here goes lets see what he says. So i walked over to him and he was talking to the owner of cap that was sitting next to him on seat 8. Then i called him by the name I always knew him by. Which I wont say, he turns around and say's who the FUCK ARE YOU!!!! I was like a humble fan looking to get a autograph and a picture with you.



J/K he turns around and says whats up Super Donk! we chit chatted a bit and all along Santi was standing right behind me and it didnt dawn on me to introduce him to JC. Even though I was pretty sure i have over a year ago. It was around the last time i saw him at the Cap and the santi was there. But he says he has been taking a break from the tour and resting up before the WSOP. He planning on playing alot more events this year since he learned how to play O8 and other games. He even said to look him up when i am there during the Card player/67 suited vegas trip in June.
I was like cool cool. Told him good luck and let him continue to play his game.

That was my experience with meeting JC Tran. Just wanted to let you all know.
