First Thirty Minutes

The first half hour of play featured limited action from the table. There was only one hand that went to the river and was shown down. The pre-flop aggressor has been picking up pots through the first 15 hands or so with 180K or so being the standard raise. JC Tran increased the chip lead to over $4 million. Chau Giang has slipped to 990K.

JC Tran Wins $1.5 million pot

Hand #9: JC Tran raised 180K pre-flop and Jacobo Fernandez called. The flop was {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked. When the {J-Spades} fell on the turn, Fernandez bet out 230K. Tran called. The river was {3-Diamonds}. Fernandez checked and Tran bet 300K. Fernandez went into the tank for a few minutes before he called. Tran flipped over {A-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a pair of Aces, while Fernandez showed {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for second pair.
