Tran Rivered

Kenny Tran
Kenny Tran
At Kenny Tran's table, the under-the-gun player put in an opening raise to 1,100. Everyone folded, except for Tran, who called from the cutoff position.

The flop revealed {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and the original raiser continued out for 2,200 more chips. Kenny Tran reached for his own chips and jammed it up to 7,000. His opponent re-shoved for just a small amount more, and Tran made the call, showing {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. It was a good read by Tran, as the other player was still waiting to hit the board with his {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

The turn card, {8-Hearts}, gave him plenty of outs, and salvation came on the river when the {K-Spades} took a fairly large pot out of Tran's grasp. After the loss, Kenny Tran has taken a step back to approximately 20,000 chips remaining.
