JC Tran
JC Tran

Action on the table folded around to the button where Eric Sullivan raised min-raised to 1,600 and he was called by JC Tran from the big blind.

Tran bet out 1,600 after a flop of {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Sullivan called.

The turn came the {6-Spades} and both players checked.

The river brought the {j-Spades} and Tran put out a bet of 4,200 and Sullivan pushed all his chips in the middle. Tran took a quick look back at his cards before ultimately making the call.

Sullivan tabled his hand first showing {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a rivered full house and Tran mucked his hand and was eliminated from the tournament.

Mirrasouli Running Table Over

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Sean Mirrasouli was just witnessed taking down several pots in a row in the Pavilion room, the first of which was of note. He was in the small blind and was heads up in a pot with the cutoff. There was around 4,000 in the pot as the dealer turned over a flop of {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Mirrasouli check-called a bet of 1,800 and the turn came {6-Hearts}. Both players checked, and Mirrasouli fired a bet of 6,000 on the {8-Hearts} river. His opponent went into the tank and eventually folded.
