Nyffeler Doubles Through JC Tran

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Three players each put 22,000 chips in before the flop: Andre Nyffeler in the small blind, JC Tran from under the gun, and Cary Katz in the hijack.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Nyffeler shoved for 40,700. Tran shoved over the top, Katz folded, and the two players tabled their hands.

Andre Nyffeler: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{2-Hearts}
JC Tran: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Nyffeler was ahead with top set and Tran needed to improve in order to stack him. The {K-Hearts} turn and {J-Clubs} river were no help to Tran and Nyffeler took the pot to double up.
