Mimi Finally Finds Chips

After big preflop action with one player already all in, two other live players saw a flop come down {10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. Mimi Tran moved all in on that flop, and the table big stack called her down to put two players at risk. Tran held {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} versus the big stack's {10-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and the all-in player's {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. The turn {3-Hearts} was safe for her, as was the {2-Spades} that hit the river, and she took down a big pot.

After riding the short stack for much of the day, Mimi Tran now has some chips to work with. She knocked one player out in that hand, nearly tripling up to 45,000 in the process.
