Tuan Lam continues to study David Tran, who is wearing sunglasses as he sits motionless. After several minutes, Lam says, "Call," showing {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Tran shows {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, and it's a race situation.

The flop comes {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Lam flops a pair of kings to takes the lead.

The turn card is the {4-Hearts}, and Tran needs a six on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the {2-Clubs}, and Tuan Lam wins the pot with a pair of kings.
