Tuan Le was born in Paris, France to parents of Vietnamese heritage. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Kansas City where they remained for several years, then his family established roots in Los Angeles, CA. A highly intelligent young man, Tuan Le always did well at school. He passed a proficiency test at the age of 16 and began attending classes ahead of schedule at Los Angeles Junior College. Three years later, he graduated and enrolled in classes as a Finance major at CSU in Northridge. It was in the Student Union where he was first bitten by the poker bug. Tuan began playing poker as much as possible during his free time and won on a consistent basis. With a growing confidence in his abilities and a craving for serious competition, he began to play in live $20-$40 Hold 'Em games at the Hustler Casino in Los Angeles. Though his skills were not always a match for more seasoned players at the casino, his determination kept him going back for more. By choosing to follow his heart, Tuan left the college education behind, only 16 credits short of a Bachelor's Degree in Finance, to pursue a career in poker.

As Tuan's game improved, he was noticed by poker professional Barry Greenstein, who became his mentor. Tuan humbly maintains that Barry deserves much of the credit for his successes thus far. In particular, he was given an advanced copy of Barry's yet unpublished book to peruse, and through its pages, Tuan was able to better his tournament play on many levels. Consequently, in 2004, Tuan won a No Limit Hold 'Em tournament at the Commerce Casino. The proceeds enabled enter the World Poker Open on the WPT Tour. His ability to read opponents and his aggressive play not only won the tournament with its $1.5 million prize and WPT title, but it made the poker world take notice of this rising, young star. The victory earned Tuan a seat into the 2005 WPT World Championship tournament at the Bellagio. Over five days, he outplayed 446 players to make it to the final table with poker champions. During a marathon poker finale that lasted almost eight hours, Tuan succeed in winning $2.8 million prize, and title of WPT Champion.

Not only has Tuan proved that his poker skills are acute enough to compete with the best in today's poker world, he has established a new standard for winning players. His quiet and unruffled behavior at the table, his humble words to fans and fellow players alike, and his passion for and mastery of the game have gained him a tremendous amount of respect. All the while, Tuan continues to work to improve his own abilities at the table while working with good friend, Nam Le, to refine his game. He constantly tries to improve aspects of his game that he views as weaknesses, such as focus and discipline during long tournaments.
