A Northbound Tran

Theo just keeps chugging.

From late position, Tran opens the pot to 3,000. From the big blind, an opponent reraises the minimum, making it 6,000 to go. Tran calls.

The flop comes down {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and both players check.

The turn brings the {J-Diamonds}. The big blind bets 5,000, and Tran calls.

The final card off the deck is the {3-Clubs}. Again, the bet is 5,000 to Tran, and he makes the call, showing {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. His opponent had {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, and Tran once again adds valuable chips to his pile, which now stands at a whopping 147,000.
