Theo Tran Shows Down the Nuts

Theo Tran raised to 65,000 from middle position and Joe Rutledge called from the small blind. The flop came down {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} and Rutledge checked. Tran bet 65,000 and got a quick call. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn prompted both men to check. The {2-Spades} on the river prompted Rutledge to slide out 100,000. Tran raised to 350,000 and Rutledge made a quick call. Tran tabled {A-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} for the full house and a surprised Rutledge flipped up {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} before mucking. Rutledge slips to 122,000 while Tran climbs near 1,500,000.
