Tran Fades Spades, Overcards

J.C. Tran
J.C. Tran
We pick up three-way action on a flop showing {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {2-Spades}, and [Removed:197] was first to act from the blinds. He checked, and J.C. Tran made a bet of 30,000. Alper Sar called, and [Removed:198] moved all in with a big covering stack. With 331,000 chips left, Tran made the call for his tournament life, and Sar quickly mucked out of the way.

Tran tabled {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} for top-top. He had the best hand, but [Removed:198]'s {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} gave him a monster draw. The {3-Clubs} on the turn was an airball, and a blank hit the river as well with the {6-Diamonds}. Tran somehow fades the myriad of outs, doubling his way up to 820,000.
