Tran Chips Up

J.C. Tran opens the action from the button, putting in a raise to 1,200. The big blind decides to give him some action, and the two men go heads-up to a flop of {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Check to Tran, and he bets 1,400. His opponent check-raises to 4,500, and Tran smooth-calls.

The turn card brings the {7-Hearts}, and the player again checks over to Tran, who puts him all in for approximately 10,500. The player folds, and Tran pads his stack, now up close to 40,000.
