Tran Leaves Champ on Fumes; Is Later Eliminated
Level 5
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Action folded to Lynda Tran in the small blind who completed. David Brookshire raised his option from the big blind and Tran called. The two saw a 
flop and Tran checked. Brookshire made a continuation-bet and Tran called, bringing the turn. Tran again check-called Brookshire's second barrel and the river came 
.
Throughout the hand, there was a light, fun energy to the blind-on-blind battle. In that fashion, Tran started to laugh a little.
"Okay, check," she said.
"Okay, bet!" said Brookshire as he put in one final bet. Tran shrugged and called.
Brookshire tabled 
for Broadway and Tran turned over 
for a full house, aces full of jacks. Tran mentioned after the hand that she thought she might be behind. Brookshire confirmed she was ahead the whole way.
After the hand, Brookshire was down to his last 1,100 chips as the game switched to Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better. A few hands later, he was seen wishing his tablemates good luck as he stood up and exited the tournament area.
