Tran Crippled

[user67765]

The three players limped in to see a flop of {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

and Bloom checked to Tran who bet out 30,000. Both opponents made the call.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and Bloom checked to Tran who fired again for 65,000. Steicke put in the raise to 200,000 as Bloom stepped aside.

Tran went into the tank and used up two time breaker buttons and with only 80,000 chips behind he eventually folded as Steicke flashed {J-?}

{J-?}

{8-?}

for two pair. Steicke is dominating with over three-quarters of the chips in play!
