Tran Snaps River Incorrectly to Bust to Micka
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Luther Tran limped the small blind and Joel Micka checked his option in the big blind.
On the J♥8♥4♦ flop, Tran check-called a bet of 15,000 from Micka.
The turn brought the K♠. Tran checked again to Micka who bet 50,000. Tran responded with a check-raise to 150,000 and Micka put in the call.
On the 10♠ river, Tran slowed down with a check. Micka contemplated for a moment before he announced all-in for 350,000 effective as the covering stack, and Tran snap-called.
Luther Tran: A♠4♣ 
Joel Micka: Q♥9♥
Micka made the second nut straight on the river while Tran snapped it off with fifth pair. His courageous call backfired as he hit the exit while Micka dragged a massive pot.
