Hand #51 - Theo Tran

Chris Ferguson has the button in seat 8. Aaron Coulthard raises to 150,000 from under the gun. Mike Ngo calls from middle position and Melvin Jones announces "all in" from late position. Theo Tran then moves all in from the cutoff seat for 940,000. All other players fold, and they two showdown:

Tran: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Jones: {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}

Tran is the all in player. Needless to say, the gallery is on their feet. The flop comes down {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} helping neither player. The turn comes the {6-Spades}. Jones needs an ace or he'll double Tran up. The river comes the {5-Spades} and Tran's supporters cheer. Tran doubles up to just about 1,500,000 leaving Jones with just over 400,000.
