One Pair Good for Tran

J.C. Tran raised to 90,000 from the button and Jeff Kimber made the call.

The flop was {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn came the {J-Clubs}. Kimber checked to Tran, who bet 100,000. Kimber called and they went to the river, the {2-Diamonds}. Kimber checked and Tran checked behind.

Tran showed {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for a pair of queens and took it down.

Heads-Up Chip Counts

Since we're on pause while the bracelet is retrieved and the table prepared for heads-up play, let's take a look at the chip counts:

J.C. Tran 2,230,000
Jeff Kimber 1,040,000

Jean-Philippe Leandri Eliminated in 3rd Place ($95,837)

Jean-Philippe Leandri
Jean-Philippe Leandri
In a three-way limped pot, we saw a flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs}. Jean-Philippe Leandri bet 90,000, Jeff Kimber folded, and J.C. Tran raised pot. Leandri made the all in call and the hands were opened.

Leandri: {2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Tran: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Leandri was ahead with two pair, but Tran had outs with over cards and the club flush draw. The {10-Spades} on the turn brought the possibility of a chop, but Tran took the hand when the {4-Clubs} spiked on the river.

Tran now has a 2-1 chip lead going into heads-up play while Leandri leaves in third place with nearly $96,000.

Tran in Control

Jean-Phillippe Leandri raised to 105,000 from the button and J.C. Tran quickly bet the pot from the big blind.

Leandri could only shrug his shoulders before tossing his cards away.

Tran Keeps on Rolling

J.C. Tran limped on the button, Jean-Phillipe Leandri completed the small blind and Jeff Kimber checked his option.

The flop was {K-Clubs} {8-Spades} {3-Clubs} and the action was checked to Kimber who bet 50,000. Tran called and Leandri folded. The turn was the {A-Clubs} and both players checked. The river brought the {7-Diamonds} and Kimber checked. Tran bet 100,000, Kimber folded and Tran won the pot.

Tran Likes the Kings

Jeff Kimber limped from the small blind and J.C. Tran checked his option, taking us to a flop of {8-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Both players checked and Kimber bet 50,000 when the {K-Clubs} hit fourth street. Tran called and then bet another 50,000 after Kimber checked the {K-Spades} on the river. Kimber folded, giving the pot to Tran.

Ross Boatman Eliminated in 4th Place ($66,936)

Ross Boatman - 4th Place
Ross Boatman - 4th Place
Ross Boatman limped in from the small blind and J.C. Tran checked his option.

The flop came down {8-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Boatman checked to Tran, who bet 60,000, Boatman moved all in and Tran called.

Boatman {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Tran {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Spades} {3-Clubs}

The turn was the {A-Spades}, making Boatman aces up, but Tran picked up a flush draw. Tran filled it on the river when the {3-Spades} fell and Boatman exited in fourth place to a round of applause from his railbirds. He'll take home $66,936 for his finish.
