Tran Finds a Miracle Card

Tran spikes the turn against Rousso

JC Tran limped in with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and then Vanessa Rousso raised to 21,000 with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Tran made the call, being in the worst shape he could be in. Phil Laak folded {J-?}{10-?} to take away some outs from Tran.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Tran checked. Rousso fired 36,000. Tran went to look back at his hole cards and moved them forward off the glass where the camera is located. Rousso thought he was folding and slid her hand forward as well before she was stopped. Tran then made the call, maybe thinking she was weak.

The turn was a miracle for Tran when the last ten in the deck fell, the {10-Clubs}. He checked and Rousso moved all in to put Tran all in. He snapped for his last 107,000 chips.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and Rousso couldn't find a queen to take back the lead. She doubled up Tran, who stayed alive in the tournament.

Schwartz Best Tran

Luke Schwartz raised to 16,000 with {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} and was called in two spots. First, JC Tran called with the {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} and then Yevgeniy Timoshenko called with {6-Spades}{5-Spades}.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and all three players checked. The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and Timoshenko checked first action. Schwartz fired 36,000 and Tran called. Timoshenko folded.

The river was the {J-Diamonds} and Schwartz asked how much Tran was playing.

"About 280,000," responded Tran.

"So I guess the over shove isn't an option," responded Schwartz, before betting 50,000. Tran paid him off and Schwartz won the hand with three jacks.

The flop was huge for Laak, coming down {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and landing him with a set. The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and the river the {5-Clubs}. Frazer was the player at risk in the hand and was sent home in 7th place, earning $4,000 for the finish and taking home two points.

Laak Still Building

Phil Laak raised preflop with {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Luke Schwartz just flatted him with pocket jacks. The flop came down {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Schwartz check-called a bet from Laak.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Schwartz checked. Laak fired 42,000 and Schwartz folded. Laak wanted to see the river and the dealer put it out there with the {8-Clubs}. He then showed his hand to the table. He's up over 860,000 chips.

Schwartz Needles De Wolfe

Roland De Wolfe raised to 15,000 with {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Phil Laak called on the button with {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Vanessa Rousso called from the big blind with {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} and everyone checked. The turn gave Rousso a strangle hold on the hand with the {2-Hearts}. She fired 20,000 and De Wolfe raised to 61,000. Laak folded and then Rousso moved all in. De Wolfe folded quickly.

"That's the worst raise I've ever seen," needled Luke Schwartz.
