Tran Topples; Bubble Bursts!

Linh Tran all in on the bubble . . . and out!
Linh Tran all in on the bubble . . . and out!

Tom Grigg opened to 10,000 from the button with Linh Tran making the call from the big blind.

The flop fell down {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Tran checked to Grigg who opted to fire out 10,000 only to have the short-stacked Tran check-raise all in for 41,000. Grigg made the call to put Tran at risk on the bubble.

Tran: {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Grigg: {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

With Tran trailing and in need of one of the remaining queens in the deck, the {8-Hearts} on the turn gave him additional outs with any nine or eight seeing the pot chopped off.

As Tran stood behind his chair with his belongings packed in preparation to vacate the tournament area, the {7-Diamonds} on the river would ensure his elimination on the bubble as twenty-three players clapped Grigg intensely for ensuring them a guaranteed $4,271 payday.
