Thong "Jimmy" Tran

Jimmy Tran makes an opening raise to 35,000. A couple spots down the line, Matt Keikoan turns the heat up by stamping down a 20-stack of T25,000 chips worth a total of 500,000. Everyone else ducks out, and Jimmy Tran, well-covered, makes the call for his last 250,000.

The cards are shown down. Tran tables {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

, and has just one live card versus Keikoan's {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

.

The board proves useless to Tran, as it runs out {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

. He stands quietly and takes one last look at the table before heading over to pick up his pay slip. For his work over the last two days, Tran pockets $33,320, but is sent out just a couple spots shy of the final table.
