Hand #53 - Kenny Tran

Alec Torelli has the button and kicks it up to 80,000. Kenny Tran makes the call and we see a flop of {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} {6-Spades}.

Kenny leads out with a bet of 125,000 and Alec makes the call.

Fourth street is the {9-Diamonds} and Kenny fires again, this time for 300,000. Alec makes the call which takes us to the river -- the {A-Hearts}.

Both players check on the end and Kenny shows {3-?} {4-?} for nothing but a pair of threes, but they're good enough to win him the pot, as Alec mucks.

Take That!

The monitors in the Milwaukee's Best Light No-Limit Lounge just showed a split-screen shot of Kenny Tran and Alec Torelli. Torelli noticed the shot, and jokingly tried to poke Tran "through" the shot.

Hand #59 - Alec Torelli

Alec Torelli has the button and makes it 80,000 to go. Kenny Tran makes the call and the flop comes {7-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades}.

Kenny checks and Alec bets 135,000. Kenny quickly calls and the turn brings the {6-Spades}.

Again, Kenny checks and this time Alec checks as well.

The last card off the deck is the {9-Hearts} and the action goes check-check to the showdown. Kenny tables {10-?} {4-?} for ten-high and Alec reveals {10-?} {6-?} for a pair of sixes, adding, "I had you drawing dead," as he raked in the pot.
