Tran Finds the Double-Up
Level 2
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tuan Tran raised to 3,000 from the hijack and Orpen Kisacikoglu three-bet to 9,000 on the button. Tran four-bet to 28,000, leaving himself with around 60,000 behind. Kisacikoglu looked at Tran's stack and then decided to five-bet putting Tran all-in who snap-called.
Tuan Tran: 
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 
The board ran out 
for Tran to hold with the higher pocket pair and double up. The dealer counted out Tran's stack and determined he had 90,000 exactly which would leave Kisacikoglu with around 130,000.
