Comeback Kid
Generally, when two-time WSOP bracelet winners with over $8 million in career tournament earnings dwindle down to 15 big blinds in a $1,650 re-entry event, they tend to blastoff and fire their second bullet.
Not JC Tran.
Tran took a hit right when he entered Day 1a of the Main Event here in Tahoe, but he kept on grinding. He then took another hit, dropping him down below 20 big blinds, and he continued to grind. Now, he has over 40 big blinds.
In a recent hand, Tran three-bet to 4,300 on the button after a player in the hijack seat opened to 1,700. The player called, and the flop fell 
. The player checked, Tran tossed out 4,700, and the player called.
The turn was the 
, the original raiser checked again, and Tran moved all in. The player folded, and Tran raked in the pot.

Just Quads
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ken Harbaugh shouted moments ago.
When we arrived at the table, we saw that Harbaugh had 
in front of him, and the board read

Harbaugh flopped quads, and now has 40,000 chips.

Flirting With Six Figures
We haven't found a 100,000-chip stack yet, and if you're out there please report to the PokerNews desk near the final table area, but Mr. Robert Hancock has about 90,000 sitting in front of him.
By our unofficial counts he's the leader heading into the final break of Day 1a.
