Two bad breaks for Tran and he's gone

Phil Laak raised to 77,000 with the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

. JC Tran picked up two jacks -- {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

-- and reraised to 277,000. Laak moved all in and Tran made the call.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

and Tran stayed in the lead. The turn card brought the worst possible card for Tran when the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

fell. Not only to Laak take the lead, but he also killed Tran's {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

as an out.

The river was the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

and Laak was able to eliminate Tran from the tournament. Just like that, Tran went from being the big chip leader to being out of the tournament. Laak assumes the top of the leaderboard with over 1.5 million chips and closer to locking up his second win already!
