Hand #60 - Kenny Tran Eliminates Jonathan Jaffe; Advances to Finals!

Jonathan Jaffe has the button and makes it 60,000 to go. Kenny Tran then reraises to 210,000 and Jaffe announces "All in," a bet totaling 1,180,000.

"It would be another 970,000 should Kenny wish to call. He does have Jonathan covered.... barely," said tournament director and emcee Robbie Thompson.

While in the tank, Kenny talks to himself out loud and goes through the motions before surprising practically everyone in the room with a call!

Jonathan: {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Kenny: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

As the dealer spread the flop, Kenny stepped away from the table, not watching to watch:

Flop: {4-Spades} {10-Hearts} {4-Hearts}
Turn: {A-Diamonds}
River: {8-Diamonds}

A safe board for Kenny Tran sends him sailing into the finals. "Let's hear it for 'Sick-call Kenny!' said Thompson as Tran threw his arms up into the air.

Semi-finalist Jonathan Jaffe will take home $108,288 in prize money for his efforts, while Tran now awaits the winner of Vanessa Selbst v. Alec Torelli which is scheduled to begin in just a few minutes.

Stay tuned -- more action to come!
