J.C. Tran - Out

Dennis Phillips came into the pot with a raise, and J.C. Tran gave him action from the blind. Heads up, the flop came down {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. Tran had what looked like 87,000 chips left, and they all went into the middle. Phillips made the small call to put Tran's tournament life in jeopardy.

Dennis tabled {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

for top pair, and J.C.'s {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

was not looking so good. The turn was a blank {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

to leave him drawing dead to an ace. The {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

that hit the river was indeed not an ace, and that will spell the end of J.C. Tran. As he departed, Tran wished his table luck and received a warm ovation from the players and fans gathered around the featured table.
