The Paul Tran Express

Paul Tran is a character to say the least. he's been involved in tons of hands at his table, which is also where Maya Gellar is also seated, and running his mouth the entire time.

From early position, Tran raised to 225 and a player in middle position reraised to 825. Tran made the call saying, "I have tens, you better hope a ten doesn't hit." He then checked in the dark as the flop came down {10-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}.

"I'll be nice to you on this hand." Tran continued as his opponent checked behind. Before the turn was dealt, Tran fired 500 in the dark. The dealer then dealt the {10-Clubs} on the turn.

"Uh oh, bad beat! Bad beat jackpot!" yelled Tran. His opponent made the call.

The river brought the {4-Diamonds} and Tran fired 500 again. His opponent called and Tran showed {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts} for a full house to scoop the pot.

On the next hand, Tran raised to 225 again, with both the button and big blind making the call. The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {7-Clubs}, but not before Tran had fired 100 in the dark, even though the big blind was to act before him. The big blind checked, Tran's bet stood, and then the button raised to 200. The big blind folded and Tran made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and Tran checked. The button fired 600 and Tran called.

Tran then fired 100 after the river fell the {8-Clubs} and his opponent called. Tran tabled a rivered two pair, {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, and scooped in the pot.
