Tran Advances

When Theo Tran shouted "One for 10" after winning his heads-up match, he wasn't talking about today's finish. Instead, he was referring to the fact he's cashed in his first event of this year's series.

So far, Tran is guaranteed to take home at least $5,236 when he returns tomorrow to start in tomorrow's 100-player field. To get there, Tran called his opponent's all in bet on a board of {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} holding {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} against his opponent's {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

When the board completed {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, Tran's 10s held and he moved on.
