Hand #30 - J.C. Tran

Theo Tran has the button in seat 2. J.C. Tran raises to 40,000 from late position. Shannon Shorr reraises to 143,000 from the small blind. Carter Gill folds from the big blind and action is back to Tran. He stares down at his chips, slowly shuffling them for a good 45 seconds before finally moving all in for a total of 222,000. Shorr is pot-committed, and he insta-calls. The players show:

Shorr: {6-Spades} {5-Clubs}
Tran: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

The flop comes {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {9-Spades} helping neither player. The turn comes the {2-Spades} giving Shorr an inside straight draw in addition to his live cards. The river is the {Q-Hearts} hitting Tran squarely and doubling him up to 474,000.
