Kenny Tran Advances

Kenny Tran has just eliminated opponent Mathias Andersson -- the result of a fateful turn card.

The {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {J-Clubs} board had Andersson out in front with top pair and a gutshot straight draw (K-10), but the {Q-Diamonds} that fell on the turn gave Tran the nut straight (A-10). The money found its way into the middle on the turn and a blank on the river locked up the hand for Tran.
