Theo Tran, Up and Out

Theo Tran just went on a roller coaster ride that ultimately resulted in his demise. Things started off with Tran doubling up to about 43,000 in chips after getting it all in pre-flop with A-K against an opponent's A-Q; the better hand held up and Theo raked in the pot.

On the very next hand Tran was dealt A-K again, only this time he wasn't as lucky, in that his opponent, Thomas Hover, had picked up pocket aces. Once again, the better hand held up and Tran was eliminated from the tournament about 15 places shy of the money.
