J.C. Tran
With about 100,000 in the pot, J.C. Tran and Mike Lovelace saw a flop of . Tran led out with a bet of 55,000, and Lovelace moved all in for 565,000 total. That sent Tran spiraling into the tank, and he was clearly confused about the decision upon him. "This is so sick," he said. "Why would you go all in?" After another few minutes of deliberation, he added, "I'll let you bluff me this time, 'cause I know next time I'll be ready." With that, Tran showed and released his cards into the muck. Lovelace flashed his , breathing a big sigh of relief as he stacked some new chips.
"How could you lay that down?" someone asked Tran after the hand. Tran snapped his head around to answer, "Because I value my tournament life a lot." Tran is down to 600,000, but still alive and well here in the Main.

ElkY In Shock
The details are sketchy, (perhaps our reporters were in shock that ElkY actually LOST a hand), but we got the gist of what went down.
Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier was holding and saw a multi-way flop of with four opponents where the action was checked around.
The on the turn was the action card as it gave ElkY a set. He fired out a bet and then called the shove of his opponent who turned over for the flush.
The river didn't repeat the board and Elky loses a chunk of coin to slip to a more human-like 1.35 million.

No report if Hellmuth uttered "et tu" or anything similar after all of the callers.
The flop came . Jenkins pushed all in for 83,000, Mourshaki folded, then Hellmuth reraised all in with his last 110,000. Gomez folded, and Hsiung called.

We just caught the tail end of a hand, but it was at least worth mentioning. J.C. Tran was involved again, and on fourth street, the board showed . It was a battle of the blinds, and Tran's opponent made a bet of 60,000 which he called. The river brought the , and the small blind moved all in. Tran thought for just a bit before sending his cards back to the muck, and the small blind couldn't resist flashing his offsuit as he pulled in the pot.
That's the second time the table has bluffed J.C. Tran in the last few minutes. Chances are good that the third person who tries to do that will be making a mistake.
