Tran and Baron Chop a Big Pot

[user108095]

J.C. Tran

Two big stacks tangled right after the bubble burst and both came out unscathed.

J.C. Tran raised to 8,000 preflop and got called by Isaac Baron, taking us to a flop of {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

. Baron check-called for 12,000 and then led for 38,400 when the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

fell on fourth street. Tran raised all in, and Baron called.

Baron: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

Tran:

{A-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

With both players holding Broadway and no flush draws possible, the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

on the river proved meaningless and they chopped up the pot.
