Kenny Tran Bests Roman Paradiso

[user38449]

Kenny Tran

Roman Paradiso has just been eliminated from the tournament by poker pro Kenny Tran.

A {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

flop invoked all the action as Kenny Tran led out with a 15,000 bet. Roman -- short-stacked -- then moved in over the top of Tran's bet and Kenny made the call, tabling {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

for two pair; Roman showed {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

and found himself drawing quite thin.

The {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

fell on the turn, meaning the best Roman could hope for was a chopped pot, but another three came on the river cementing the hand and the win for Tran.

Roman will take home $36,096 for his efforts.
