Tran Tumbling

Theo Tran just took a major hit and slipped to 48,700 with about 18 minutes left to go in the day.

In what was a four-way limped pot with the board showing {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Andrew Scott opened for 2,700 from the big blind. One limper folded before the action reached Tran on the button, who raised to 7,700. Much to his surprise, the fourth player in the hand -- seated in the small blind -- cold called Theo's raise and Scott eventually mucked.

The action then went heads-up to the turn, which was the {3-Diamonds}. A pair of checks sent the action to the river, which delivered the {3-Hearts}.

The small blind quickly counted out 15,000 worth of chips and dropped them into the middle.

"This is pretty sick," said Tran, before making an equally quick call.

The small blind turned over {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, good for an ace-high flush, and Tran, shaking his head, flashed the {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} before tossing his cards into the muck.
