Gods of Poker Appoints Two-Time WSOP Champion Hanh Tran as Mix Game Advisor
- Hanh Tran, WSOP winner, joins GOP as Mix Game Advisor.
- Cronus Structure expands to include mixed-game formats.
- Eden Awakens festival debuts December 2025 in South Korea.
October 2025 – Gods of Poker (GOP) has appointed two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Hanh Tran as its official Mix Game Advisor. The move marks an important step in the brand’s expansion into multi-variant poker formats under its innovative Cronus Structure.
Tran, a respected mixed-game specialist, earned his first bracelet in the 2018 WSOP $1,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw event in Las Vegas and his second at WSOP Europe in the €550 Pot Limit Omaha 8-Handed event. His experience across draw and rotation games makes him a natural fit to guide GOP’s structural evolution.
Building the Foundations of Modern Mixed Games
Strategic Partnership for Growth
Lloyd Fontillas, General Manager and Executive Tournament Director for Gods of Poker, highlighted why Tran’s expertise was vital for the brand’s upcoming live events.
“I’ll admit, I don’t know enough about the finer details of mix game rulings and formats. That’s exactly why I wanted Hanh on board—to help us build these games properly, from structure to rulings, ensuring fairness and excitement. He’ll also participate in our mix game event to test and refine the Cronus structure firsthand.”
Tran’s advisory role aims to ensure that GOP’s tournament formats are not only balanced and engaging but also consistent with international standards for mixed games.
A Shared Vision for Player-Centered Poker
Elevating the Player Experience
Speaking about his new role, Hanh Tran praised the organization’s innovative approach.
“What stood out to me about Gods of Poker is the way they think. They’re not just running tournament, they’re trying to improve the experience for players at every level. That’s the kind of thinking I want to be part of.”
This shared focus on structure, player engagement, and fair gameplay positions GOP as a leading force in Asia’s evolving live poker landscape.
Expanding the Cronus Philosophy
From Hold’em to Mixed-Game Excellence
The Cronus Structure, GOP’s proprietary tournament system, prioritizes efficiency, competitive balance, and time management. With Tran’s guidance, the same principles will now extend to mixed-game events such as Omaha, Triple Draw, Dealer’s Choice, and 8-Game Mix.
GOP’s initiative aligns with the rising interest in mixed games throughout Asia, especially in Japan and South Korea, where player communities are increasingly exploring more complex poker variants.
