Tran vs. Oppenheim
Oppenheim picks up his hand and flips through his cards. "What just happened?" he says. He then knocks over some of his chips, stands up and pauses his iPod. He flicks through his cards some more and shows them to the hole-cam again.
Kenny Tran is as calm as can be through the five-minute ordeal. Oppenheim finally folds to one additional raise from Tran.
Tran shows A-2-4-6 and collects the nearly 150k chip pot. Oppenheim tells the table what he had, seemingly implying he was either ahead for most of the hand or was drawing very strongly.
Kenny Tran is among the chip leaders.
