Tran on the Rise

On a flop of {10-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}, J.C. Tran made it 1,500 to go and a player in middle position had called when the player on the button moved all-in for 2,125. Tran called, as did the player in middle position. The turn brought the {K-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {8-Hearts} and Tran led out for 2,500. His opponent folded and Tran showed pocket eights for a full house on the river while his opponent, who was all in, showed A-10 and was eliminated.

After the hand, Tran is up to 23,000.
