Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

There was a raise to 800 from under the gun, Andy Bloch called in middle position, and Kenny Tran three-bet to 3,000 on the button. The player in the big blind put out a rainbow variety of chips in the 4,000 range, and the dealer wasn't sure if it was a raise or a call.

The flop fell and the player led out for 6,000. Tran quickly folded.
