Tran Doubles on the First Hand
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
JC Tran made it 140,000 from the cutoff with only Ryan Leng calling on the button.
Tran jammed for 150,000 on the 8♦5♦K♠ flop, and Leng immediately called.
JC Tran: A♠A♦K♣8♥ 
Ryan Leng: J♦J♠10♠3♠
Tran had flopped kings-up against the jacks of Leng. The 9♠ turn gave Leng a straight and flush draw, but the 5♥ river was safe for Tran, and he doubled up on the first hands of the day.
