Hand #43 - Mike Ngo

Theo Tran has the button in seat 7. Mike Ngo raises to 180,000 from late position. Theo Tran calls from the button. The blinds pass and it's heads up to the flop of {10-Spades} {6-Spades} {3-Clubs}. Ngo checks and Tran bets 180,000. Ngo quickly calls and the dealer lays down the {J-Clubs} on the turn. Ngo checks again and Tran bets 235,000. Ngo makes another quick call. The river brings the {Q-Hearts}. Ngo moves all in and Tran stands up and starts smiling. He paces the stage, making an expression like "what have I gotten myself into?" He crosses his arms and stares at the board with a sincere look of curiosity. He finally sits back down and then nervously leans over the table. Tran eventually folds and Ngo triumphantly shows {4-?} {4-?}. Tran commented that he had pocket aces. Ngo wins the pot.
