Tran Collects

Joseph Kuether raised it up to 60,000 from the hijack and Nghi Van Tran on the button was the only one willing to come along for the ride.

The dealer spread a {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Spades} flop and Kuether checked. Tran took this opportunity to bet out 80,000. Kuether made the call and both players were off to the turn.

The {2-Diamonds} on the turn saw a repeat of action with Kuether check-calling a bet from Tran of 150,000.

The {k-Diamonds} on the river allowed for both players to knuckle the felt for checks and flip over their cards. Kuether showed {J-}{6-}, for a pair of jacks and Tran exposed {q-}{10-} for a superior pair of queens.
