Trung Tran Crippled, then Eliminated in 5th Place (AU$6,880)

Trung Tran - 5th Place
Trung Tran - 5th Place
Limit hold'em crippled Trung Tran; no-limit hold'em eliminated him.

Tran went to war with Adam Peck on the last hand of limit hold'em, raising preflop and then calling Peck's three-bet from the small blind. Peck made the first bet on a board of {7-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades}. Tran then raised enough to put Peck all in. He called.

Peck: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Tran: {A-Spades} {7-Clubs}

The turn and river were blanks. That left Tran with only 8,500 chips. He was in the 6,000-chip big blind on the next hand, when the game switched to no-limit hold'em. He moved in preflop after Marlon Goonawardana and Taner Durst both limped in. The action was checked all the way down on a board of {5-Clubs} {9-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. Goonawardana came up with a pair of sevens, {k-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. That was enough when Tran turned up {2-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}.
