Tran Shows the Better Two Pair
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mason Vieth raised to 225,000 in the hijack with K♣J♠ and Thao Tran flatted on the button with A♣3♣.
The flop came 7♦A♠J♣, Vieth bet 200,000 and Tran quickly called, bringing the 3♥ turn, where both players checked.
On the K♠ river, Vieth sized up with a bet of 850,000. Tran quickly called and Vieth saw the bad news that his two pair was no good.
