Amit Delivers Hit to Thanh

There was about 17,500 in the middle by the time the flop arrived {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, at the sight of which Thanh dat Tran fired 12,100 from the big blind. Amit Makhija, Tran's lone opponent sitting in middle position, called the bet. The turn then brought the {K-Diamonds}, and Tran was pushing out chips again, this time 22,400 of them. Tran called once more.

The river was the {10-Spades}. Tran tried again, betting 21,500, and after a two-minute pause to think, Makhija called one last time. Tran showed {J-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for tens and fours, while Makhija's {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} gave him the better two pair.
