Jimmy Tran Sent to the Rail

No-Limit Hold'em:

A middle-position player made it 125. The small blind called the raise and then Jimmy Tran reraised to 550 from the big blind. The original raiser folded and then the small blind moved all in for 2,800. Tran made the call for his 2,125 chips.

Tran held the best hand with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} and his opponent held {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and Tran still held the lead, with his opponent picking up a straight draw. The turn was clean for Tran, the {9-Spades}. But then, just as Tran was ready to double up, the dealer slapped the {8-Diamonds} on the river to send Tran to the rail. He seemed very disgusted with the hand as he left the tournament area.
