Tran Put in Tough Spot

J.C. Tran looking for bracelet number two of the series

J.C. Tran opened to 6,000 from under the gun, and as the action folded around to the small blind, he made it 19,000 to go.

Tran sat there under his trademark flat brim and behind his dark shades mulling over a decision for nearly two minutes.

Eventually Tran open-mucked his {A-Spades}{J-Spades} straight towards his opponent as a sign of respect. However his opponent would now breath a sigh of relief folding his dominated {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} back towards Tran.

"You picked a good spot" commented Tran as he slips to 112,000 in chips.
