Tran Big Stack to Bust

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Henry Tran

Henry Tran had one of the biggest stack a short time ago, but it's all gone now. He put the last 4,700 in over a limp and was called by both the small blind and the limper. The two players checked down {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and the small blind turned over {9-}{9-}. Tran slapped {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} down after grabbing his coat, and the third player showed why Tran found little help: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Dang Takes Difficult Pot

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

We found Danny Dang with a bet of 15,800 in front of him on a flop of {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. One player was already all in, and another player called Dang's bet after a long debate between the players and the dealer about the splitting of the side and main pots. The turn came {j-Diamonds}, and Dang shoved all in for about 50,000. His opponent folded fairly quickly, and Dang turned over {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a set. The all-in player was drawing dead with {k-}{j-}.

Turner Busted After Jamming Over Squeeze

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Jamal Sawaqdeh
Jamal Sawaqdeh

A player opened under the gun for 2,000 and got a slew of callers, with Josh "JT" Turner first among them. When it was Jamal Sawaqdeh's turn in the big blind, he reraised to 12,500, and the opener folded. Turner shoved all in though, for about 65,000 total, and action folded to Sawaqdeh, who called.

Sawaqdeh: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Turner: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

A start went through the table as the dealer spread a {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop, giving both players sets. Turner needed the last jack though, and neither the turn {a-Clubs} nor the river {4-Hearts} brought it.

Turner said he's coming back into the tournament shortly.

Zedo Tangles With Tran

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Corey Zedo opened for 1,200 in middle position and got calls from both blinds. Everyone checked the {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, and Henry Tran bet 2,500 on the {9-Diamonds} turn. The big blind folded, but Zedo bumped it up to about 6,500. Tran called, then checked the {7-Spades} river. Zedo bet 7,400, only to see Tran push in a tower of chips, what looked to be 20,750. Zedo pushed his cards forward after thinking briefly.

"Couldn't beat an ace," he said.

"What do you think I'm calling you with?" Tran replied
