On a different table JC Tran was involved as the shortest stack in a three-way all in. He also had the worst hand, with his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

up against a slightly larger stack's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

and an even larger stack's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

. Yet it was Tran who took down the 12,000-chip main pot on a board of {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

with a seven-high straight.

"Look at these guys, calling me with no pair," joked Tran. Then he added, "I was thinking the eight would also be a good card until I realized it would make the 10-high straight."

"Play good now," Johnny Chan told him. "Play good!"
