Tran Gets Value on the River

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The board showed {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} with 12,000 in the pot, and Ronna Tran led out for 9,000 from the big blind, which sent a late position player into the tank. The late position player eventually called and was shown {a-}{q-} by Tran for a rivered two-pair. Tran was awarded the pot of 30,000.
