Ivey Outraces Tran; Advances to Quarterfinals

Phil Ivey and J.C. Tran got it all in pre-flop in a classic coin-flip situation: A-K for Ivey and pocket queens for Tran.

The board filled out {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Hearts} and a king on the turn cemented the hand for Ivey, sending him through to tomorrow's quarterfinals.

Tran will take home $25,000 in prize money for his efforts.
