Tran Moving Up in the World

On a board of {J-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, Pat White bet 10,000 into Kenny Tran. Tran called. Before the river was dealt, White bet 25,000 in the dark, enough to put Tran all in. The dealer peeled the {3-Spades} off the deck. Tran deliberated for several minutes before calling for all of his chips. White showed an unimproved {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}; Tran's {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} was good enough to take the pot.

Winning this pot bumped Tran's stack up to 84,000. As a post script to an earlier post, Tran did manage to get the Yankee game on a television near his table.
