Mark My Words

One of our field reporters had stopped by Theo Tran's table when Tran pulled him aside and said, "See that guy there?" while pointing to another player at his table. "I'm gonna get all his chips." The player had just shy of 100,000 and the goal would certainly boost Tran into the chip lead.

Sure enough, a few hands later, Tran had eliminated him.

Preflop, Theo Tran made it 5,500 to go and Mike Collins bumped it to 15,000 from the big blind. Theo called and the flop came {Q-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. Collins led out for 14,000 and Theo called. The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and Collins fired 20,000 into the pot. Theo called and when the {7-Spades} fell on the river Collins moved all-in for his remaining 42,600. Theo called and Collins showed {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for sevens and threes with an ace kicker while Theo showed A-3 for a full house. After the hand, Theo is up to 275,000.
