Pelton Takes One

J.C. Tran raised to 61,000 from under the gun, and Joe Pelton reraised to 200,000 from the button. Tran called.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Tran checked, and Pelton quietly pushed out 12 green chips -- a bet of 300,000. Tran thought for about a minute, then folded. Pelton has 1.1 million.

I say "quietly" because the ten players are rarely saying a word, letting the chips do the talking instead. Meanwhile, the 40 or so railbirds continue to chat away, creating a cacophony of sound here in the front corner of the Brasilia.
