Kenny Tran, playing in the $50K H.O.R.S.E. last week

In the space of two quick hands, Kenny Tran has been eliminated from the Main Event. First, he raised all in on a flop of {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

after his opponent, Pattari Kangas, led out with a bet. Kangas made the call with the best hand -- his {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

against Tran's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

. Tran did not improve through the river and slipped to about 6,000.

A few hands later, the dust barely settled from his last hand, Tran bet 2,500 on a flop of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

. His lone opponent, Jeremy Renz, check-raised to 8,000 and Tran called all in for his last 6,000. This time he was ahead with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

. But Renz held the dreaded flush draw with {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and got there when the turn fell {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

. The river {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

completed the board and ended Kenny Tran's Main Event.
