Joe Sebok Eliminated; JC Tran = New Chipleader

Joe Sebok
Joe Sebok
JC Tran and Joe Sebok butted heads in a huge pot, and when the dust settled Sebok headed to the rail. Sebok turned a Queen high flush with {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Tran had two pair with {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}. When the {10-Clubs} spiked on the river, Tran picked up a full house. All the money went in on the river as Tran scooped the monster pot worth over 500K. Tran became the first player to cross the half of a million mark.

JC Tran finished in 5th place at the 2006 LA Poker Classic. He began the final table as the chipleader, but got his pocket Aces cracked by eventual winner Aan Gohering's 5-5. Tran won over $246,000 that day, but he really wanted the victory. After the Sebok hand, Tran has put himself in a good spot to make another final table.
