Mimi Tran Stares Elimination in the Face

[user40108]

We caught up to this hand on the flop. The board read {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

. Mimi Tran's lone opponent bet enough to put her all in. Tran made the call. The players showed...

Tran: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

Opponent:

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

Tran was two cards away from making her exit on Day 2b of this year's Main Event. The turn was a blank, coming the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. The river however, was the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

, giving Tran a set of jacks and the winning hand. With that double-up, Tran is up to 65,000 in chips.
