Trai Dang: First To Claim His Prize

The bubble just burst, and Trai Dang is the first player out in the money. He got the rest of his short stack in preflop, and Trevor Reader was the only caller.

Reader: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}
Dang: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The flop was ugly for Dang, coming {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, giving Reader a royal flush draw and giving virtually nothing to Dang. The turn brought the {q-Spades}, and Dang was drawing dead. The meaningless river came the {j-Diamonds}, giving Reader an unnecessary straight, and he took the pot to boost his chip stack over 150,000.
