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 #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.

Hand #47 - Kenny Tran

Alec Torelli has the button and opens for a raise to 80,000. Kenny Tran quickly calls and we see a flop of {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}.

Kenny checks, Alec bets 105,000 and Kenny calls.

The turn brings the {6-Diamonds} and both players rap the table, opting to see a free river -- the {K-Spades}.

Both players check the river as well and Kenny tables {A-?} {J-?} which is good enough to take down the pot.

Hand #46 - Alec Torelli

Kenny Tran has the button. He raises to 90,000. Alec Torelli calls from the big blind.

The flop is {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. Torelli checks to Tran, who bets 130,000. Torelli thinks briefly, then calls Tran's bet. Both players check when the {2-Clubs} hits the turn. The {8-Spades} falls on the river and again both players check. Torelli's {10-?} {9-?} makes a pair of tens and wins the pot.
