Tran Continues to Surge
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sang Tran has continued to surge up the chip counts during the last two levels. This hand began when William Sandberg raised to 8,000 from early position.
Tran responded with a raise to 20,000 from middle position. Mohit Vasudeva elected to call from the button, and Sandberg came along with a call to keep the pot three-handed as they went to a flop.
The 10♦4♠5♥ flop resulted in a check from Sandberg before Tran put out a large bet of 65,000. Vasudeva went all-in for 30,000. Sandberg folded, and Tran and Vasudeva went to a showdown.
Mohit Vasudeva: K♣10♣
Sang Tran: A♥A♣
Vasudeva flopped top pair, but it was not enough as Tran held pocket aces.
The 3♣ turn and the 3♥ river were not enough to overcome Tran's aces as Vasudeva was eliminated.
