Tran and Rich Advance
Level 14
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
All the chips went in the middle preflop between Hong Tran and Kristen Nyman, at risk for a remaining stack round 50,000.
Nyman had the dominated hand with KxQx, against Ax10x for Tran, and couldn't find any help on a board jack high to be eliminated from the tournament.
A few seconds later two tables next to them, Arin Youssefian was all in preflop for a remaining stack around 80,000 against Jason Rich who had made the call with the higher stack.
Youssefian had the dominated hand with Kx2x, while Rich held Ax8x, and found a board Ax4x5x7x10x to win the pot and advance to Day 2 with a pair of aces.
