Tran Rivered Again

[user67765]

David Steicke raised to 56,000 from the button and JC Tran made the call in the big blind.

The flop landed {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and Tran check-called the 56,000 chip bet from Steicke. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

and both players checked. The river brought the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

and again Tran checked to Steicke who bet the magical number once again -- 56,000. Tran thought for a long time and used up one of his time breaker buttons before making the call.

Steicke sat motionless for a few seconds before first revealing the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

followed by the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

for the rivered straight. Tran mucked his cards.
