Thomas Tran checked his option from the small blind before the big blind chose to bet 6,400. Tran was unfazed and chose to check-raise to 16,500 as a response.
The big blind shoved and was snap-called by Tran, to be at risk as they went to a showdown with one card to go.
Opponent: J♣8♥
Thomas Tran: A♦Q♦
Tran had the goods as he turned the nut flush to take the lead. Tran had to fade six outs once as his opponent held two pair as they went to the river.
Tran would not be let down when the 9♠ river completed the board to award Tran the pot and eliminate his opponent.
