Ross Boatman Visits the Bank of J.C. Tran

[user25067]

Poor J.C. Tran. First he had to go and double up the short stacks. Now he's doubling up the mid-stacks.

Ross Boatman opened for 34,000 from the cutoff and Tran called from the small blind. The flop came down {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

and both players checked. The turn came the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

and Tran fired out 80,000. Boatman made the call.

The river fell the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and Tran pushed out another 240,000. Boatman tanked for several minutes before calling all in for 200,000.

Boatman showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

. His aces and deuces were good, and he doubled up to 640,000. Tran is down to 375,000.
