Sion Spikes the River to End Tran's Run
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Long Tran raised to 55,000 from the cutoff with just 50,000 remaining in his stack. When it folded to Elior Sion in the big blind, he jammed to put Tran all in, and Tran called.
Long Tran: K♦K♥J♥9♠ 
Elior Sion: Q♠Q♦8♠6♠
Tran was ahead with the bigger pair and stayed ahead on the 9♦5♣3♣ flop, although Sion picked up a straight draw. The 6♦ turn gave Sion a few more outs, and he found one of them on the 7♥ river as he improved to straight. Tran wished everyone good luck as he headed to the cashier's desk.
