Tran Takes a Big Pot

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Facing an opening raise, Henry Tran reraised to 13,000 from the hijack and the player on the button moved all. The original raiser called all in for less and Tran snap-called, tabling {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

'Raiser': {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

'Shover': {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Tran's aces held for a big pot.

Poll Takes One

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We caught the action with a completed board of {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Demian Poll had bet 6,700. His opponent thought for a while and then moved chips forward from his short stack for the call.

Poll tabled {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and his opponent mucked as the dealer pushed the pot to Poll.

Nguyen in Doubt, Make the Call

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Xuan Nguyen three-bet his opponent to 7,500 from the big blind and his opponent moved all in for 30,100. Nguyen thought for a moment and settled on a call for all of his chips, just less than 30,000.

Nguyen: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Opponent: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} and Nguyen's instincts proved true for the double up.
