He made his first appearance at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 2005, finishing in the money in seven different events (tied for the most money finishes in the 2005 WSOP with Michael Mizrachi and Tony Cousineau). Amongst these money finishes, Traniello made the final table of the $2,000 pot limit hold'em event.

Traniello also played in the 2005 World Speed Poker Open in London and cashed in the $15,000 no limit hold'em main event of the World Poker Tour Five Diamond World Poker Classic.

Traniello is good friends with several other players on the poker circuit, including Daniel Negreanu, Erick Lindgren and Juan Carlos Mortensen^{[citation needed]}. He also writes for Card Player Magazine and is a member of Marcel Luske's Circle of Outlaws.^[2]

At the 2007 World Series of Poker, he made it to the final table at the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha event. He finished 5th, winning $156,435, his biggest win to date.

As of 2011, his total live tournament winnings exceed $600,000.^[3] His 27 cashes at the WSOP account for $489,220 of those winnings.^[4]

Prior to working as a world-renowned professional hairdresser, Traniello was the captain of an oil ship and a real estate agent.^[2] While on vacation to America in 1999, Traniello met his future wife, poker pro Jennifer Harman, in the parking garage of The Bellagio hotel and casino, where their cars were parked next to each other.^[1]
