Three Times More Tran

Starting right around the dinner break yesterday, we had three players in particular who made a noticeable charge towards the top of the leader board. It would have been apparent anyways, but the fact that the three men shared a common last name made it stand out all the more.

The Tran boys, Theo, Jimmy, and J.C., took their time for the first half of the day, and then went on a tear when the remaining players came back full after supper. We sort of anticipated that they would charge deep into the field, but their effort today is truly something to behold.

Remarkably, with just 13 players left, we still have our three Trans playing for it all. Collectively, their decisions have been razor sharp, and their play has been nearly flawless. Here are their respective chip counts as it stands right now:

Theo: 1,070,000
J.C.: 290,000
Jimmy: 240,000

If you're a betting man, you'd do well to put your money on a Tran tomorrow.
