Kenny Tran's Laydown

With some preflop raising, Kenny Tran made it 98,000, and then Fred Berger bet enough behind him to put Tran all in. Everyone else folded, and Tran went into the tank for several long minutes. There wasn't much movement or talking at the table, and Tran wasn't studying Berger -- he appeared to just be contemplating the decision within himself.

Tran finally folded, and Berger showed pocket aces. Tran reached into the muck to show that he folded pocket queens.
