J.C. Tran Eliminated

J.C. Tran - Out
J.C. Tran - Out
Dennis Phillips came into the pot with a raise, and J.C. Tran gave him action from the blind. Heads up, the flop came down {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} {10-Spades}. Tran had what looked like 87,000 chips left, and they all went into the middle. Phillips made the small call to put Tran's tournament life in jeopardy.

Dennis tabled {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} for top pair, and J.C.'s {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} was not looking so good. The turn was a blank {Q-Spades} to leave him drawing dead to an ace. The {3-Hearts} that hit the river was indeed not an ace, and that will spell the end of J.C. Tran. As he departed, Tran wished his table luck and received a warm ovation from the players and fans gathered around the featured table.
