We recently arrived at the table at the tail end of a massive hand between Trung Tran and Dan Kelly. By the time we were at the scene, there was a board on the felt and well over 150,000 in the pot. The action was on Tran first and he moved all in for 117,500. Eventually flicked his cards away and Tran scooped up the massive pot to move towards 300,000 in chips.
Despite losing the above hand, Kelly is sitting very healthy with a 230,000-chip stack.

Benson then argued that the player who mucked had colluded and that he should get a penalty. After some long deliberation, the hand was called dead because the player had mucked his cards, and the gentleman holding the pair of aces was deemed the winner.
Joel Douaglin can count himself very unlucky after being rivered for most of his chips. Rasmus Buer moved all in preflop and was called by Douaglin, who had him covered.
