Theo Tran Sends One Packing

Set over set for Theo
Set over set for Theo
Facing a raise from Ilya Gorodetskiy to 4,500 from middle position, Theo Tran made the call on the button holding a pair of queens.

The flop fell down {Q-?}{9-?}{2-?} and Ilya Gorodetskiy led out for 7,500. Tran raised to 20,500 total. Gorodetskiy then reraised an additional 40,000 and Tran put in yet another reraise; this time to 90,000 total.

Gorodetskiy made the call for his tournament life, tabling a set holding {9-?}{9-?}.

When the board bricked out, Tran eliminated Ilya Gorodetskiy while climbing to 367,000 in chips.
