Tran Fades Spades, Overcards

[user66118]

J.C. Tran

We pick up three-way action on a flop showing {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

, and [Removed:197] was first to act from the blinds. He checked, and J.C. Tran made a bet of 30,000. Alper Sar called, and [Removed:198] moved all in with a big covering stack. With 331,000 chips left, Tran made the call for his tournament life, and Sar quickly mucked out of the way.

Tran tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

for top-top. He had the best hand, but [Removed:198]'s {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Spades}

gave him a monster draw. The {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

on the turn was an airball, and a blank hit the river as well with the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

. Tran somehow fades the myriad of outs, doubling his way up to 820,000.
