Tran Shoves on Mandic

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
JC Tran
JC Tran

Goran Mandic made it 65,000 to go from under the gun, and JC Tran called next to act. Rep Porter tagged along from the big blind, and the flop ran down {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. Porter checked to Mandic, who tossed out 50,000. Tran got in there with a raise to 125,000, and Porter folded. Mandic called, and the turn came the {Q-Hearts}. Mandic checked, and it didn't take long for Tran to move all in, a bet worth the 705,000 left in Mandic's stack. He thought it over for a couple of minutes before releasing his hand, a move that drew cheers from Tran's rail in the Mothership.

Jaffe Busts Heath, Back Over Four Million

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Eli Heath made it 60,000 to go from the hijack, and Jonathan Jaffe reraised to 105,000 from the button. Heath called, and the flop ran down {j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Heath checked to Jaffe, who fired out 125,000. Heath called, and the turn brought the {4-Spades}. Heath checked again to Jaffe, who bet 260,000 this time. Heath tanked for a couple of minutes before calling, and the river was the {10-Diamonds}. Heath checked a third time, and Jaffe quickly moved all in, a bet of 1.215 million effective. Heath spent about three minutes in the tank before he emerged with the call.

Jaffe: {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Heath: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Jaffe hit his gin card on the river, giving him a straight and eliminating Heath, who called with top pair on the board. After claiming that bounty, Jaffe is back up to 4.58 million.

Quietly With Queens

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Fabian Ortiz raised to 75,000 from under the gun, and it folded around to Jay Farber in the big blind who called.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Farber quickly checked. Ortiz hesitated just a moment, then checked behind. The turn was the {K-Spades} and Farber checked again. This time Ortiz reached for his chips for just a moment, then called again.

Both then quickly checked the {J-Diamonds} river. Farber flashed his hand briefly — two small cards — and Ortiz showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, saying "you're welcome" as he scooped the small pot.
