Trung Climbing the Ladder

We meander over to Trung Tran's table and find him involved in a heads-up pot. With all the cards out, the board shows {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}. The leading player checks, and Tran puts out nearly-pot-sized bet of 2,500 chips. His opponent makes the call, and Tran shows down {3-?} {3-?}, having walked into a straight. The dealer pushes the pot to Tran as his opponent frowns and mutters under his breath, "Runner-runner..."

Tran is up to 25,000 early.
