Tran Stacks Torelli; Takes 1-0 Lead in Final

Kenny Tran
Kenny Tran
Hand #93 -

Kenny Tran has the button. He raises to 110,000. Alec Torelli immediately reraises to 350,000. Tran must be pondering how much he likes his hand, considering the likelihood that Torelli will shove any flop. He makes the call.

On the flop of {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, Torelli immediately moves all in. Tran quickly calls. The hands are opened:

Torelli: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Tran: {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}

The turn is the {7-Spades}. Torelli needs a jack, and a jack only, on the river to win the pot. He doesn't get it, when the river falls {A-Diamonds}. Kenny Tran has won the first leg of this best-of-three final.
