PokerNews Video: Kenny Tran

PokerNews snagged Kenny Tran, chip leader for a good portion of the day yesterday, just before he sat down for the final table of the $50K H.O.R.S.E. event. Kenny talked about his confidence going in, and how he was previously mostly known as a No-limit cash game player.

Chip Counts

The chip counts after hand 15 were:

Seat 1 - Kenny Tran - 1,895,000
Seat 2 - David Singer - 1,320,000
Seat 3 - Bruno Fitoussi - 1,955,000
Seat 4 - John Hanson - 1,245,000
Seat 5 - Freddy Deeb - 3,880,000
Seat 7 - Amnon Filippi - 3,955,000
Seat 8 - Barry Greenstein - 140,000

Hand #21 - Split Between Bruno Fitoussi & Barry Greenstein

Hand #21 - (Omaha 8 or Better) Freddy Deeb has the button in seat 5, Fitoussi raises to 120,000, Greenstein moves all in for 140,000, and Fitoussi calls with {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Greenstein shows {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}.

The flop comes {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Fitoussi catches a pair of tens, and Greenstein has a gutshot straight draw and an 8 low draw.

The turn card is the {A-Spades}, giving Fitoussi two pair (aces and tens), and giving Greenstein a made 8 low with a spade flush draw.

The river card is the {A-Clubs}, and Bruno Fitoussi wins the high side with a full house, aces full of tens. Barry Greenstein wins the low side with an 8 low.

Last 10 Hands: #11-20

Here's a rundown of who won the last ten hands:

Hand #11 - Bruno Fitoussi
Hand #12 - Kenny Tran
Hand #13 - John Hanson
Hand #14 - John Hanson
Hand #15 - Kenny Tran
Hand #16 - Kenny Tran
Hand #17 - Bruno Fitoussi
Hand #18 - Kenny Tran
Hand #19 - Freddy Deeb
Hand #20 - Amnon Filippi

On Hand #11, Bruno Fitoussi flopped a set of deuces in a pot worth 1.2M. John Hanson took his first big hit of the day when he lost that pot to Fitoussi.

Hanson got some of his chips back when he took down consecutive pots on the flop.

Kenny Tran won four pots in the last ten hands including picking up a ground skinner (a.k.a. a walk in the big blind) on Hand #15.

The end of the Hold'em level featured passive play with the player in the big blind getting a walk on three different instances.

Amnon Filippi is the chip leader, with Barry Greenstein as the super short stack.
