Winston Smokes Tran

Roy Winston
Roy Winston
The action started when Chad Batista raised to 1,150. JC Tran called as well as two other players. The action was then on Roy Winston who raised all in for 10,000. Everyone folded except Tran, who called with {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} and Winston tabled {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}.

The flop came {10-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {6-Spades} and Tran was still ahead. The turn then spiked the {9-Clubs} and Winston made a straight, taking the lead in the hand. Tran would need to pair the board in order to win the hand. The river blanked as the {Q-Spades} hit, giving Winston the monster pot.
