Kenny Tran Mounts Come-from-behind Win

Kenny Tran has just completed an impressive come-from-behind against Erick 'E-Dog' Lindgren to advance to the round of 16.

Lindgren had Tran all in for his tournament life on a {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs} board drawing to an open-ended straight, which he hit on the turn, leaving Lindgren with just 16,000 in chips.

The hand that did E-Dog in saw him shove preflop holding {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} and get action from Tran, who brought {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts} to the showdown.

A {7-Clubs} {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop gave Tran way the best hand, though the {Q-Clubs} that came on the turn offered Lindgren a few outs. Today would not be his day, however, as the {A-Spades} popped off on the river, cementing the match for Tran.

Despite the loss, Lindgren's money finish here today puts him further ahead in the WSOP Player of the Year points race.
