The Croc Controls the Cards

Billy "The Croc" Argyros raised first in, making it 40,000 to play. Action passed around to Jimmy Tran, and he reraised to 120,000. The Croc moved all in for about 165,000 total, and Tran made the call. The cards are turned up:

Argyros: {A-Hearts}

Tran:

The flop created quite a commotion from the players and spectators, coming out {Q-Diamonds}

. Tran flopped his full house, but Argyros wasn't done yet. He stood up and yelled at the board, "Seven! Give me a seven and it's over!"

Turn: {7-Spades}

Argyros grabbed the lead back, and left Tran drawing to the last remaining six in the deck. No luck for him though; the {A-Spades}

ripped off on fifth street, improving Croc even further to queens full of aces. He snagged a much-needed double-up and now sits with 350,000. Tran, meanwhile, has traded places with Argyros, and has 175,000 left to play with.
