The Battle of Tran and Chan

A raised pot would see Terrence Chan and JC Tran take to a {8-Clubs}{a-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop, with Chan in the big blind and Tran on the button. Both players checked on the flop and it was on to the {7-Hearts} turn. This time when Chan checked, Tran would bet 12,600. Chan thought for quite some time, before making the call. On the {5-Clubs} river, Both players checked and Chan turned over {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, with the pair of kings enough to swipe the pot from Tran.

With just a couple of hundred eliminations needed until the money bubble, Chan could manage to post his 10th WSOP cash of the summer, which is a tremendous effort.
