J.C. Down Then Up

J.C. Tran lost half of his stack after running {A-Spades} {7-Spades} into {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. Both players flopped an ace, but his opponent's ten kicker was good enough to take the pot.

A few hands later, J.C. managed to get all his chips in the middle and was called by an opponent holding 10-J to Tran's A-J. Tran flopped two pair, which held up, and bumped J.C. back up to 18,000 after the hand.
