Chan v. Tran

Jimmy Tran
Jimmy Tran
Johnny Chan and Jimmy Tran just mixed things up, and Chan came out on the losing end. We pick up the action on the flop with 13,500 in the pot and the board reading {K-Spades} {8-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. Chan bet out 13,500, and Tran moved all in for 44,000 total. Chan snap called and tabled the {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {5-Clubs}. Tran was needing some help to improve his {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}. That help came right away when the turn peeled off the {7-Hearts}. Tran made his straight and needed only to fade a repeat card on the board to stay alive. The {9-Spades} was a rag, and he does indeed move his way up over the century mark, sitting with 105,000. Chan, meanwhile, has been cut in half, down to 54,000.
