falls on the turn and Tran leads out with a 200,000 bet. Torelli makes a quiet call.The last card off the deck is the
and Tran fires a 325,000 bet. Torelli then conducts an inventory of his remaining chips before raising to 925,000. The bet immediately sends Tran into the tank. He hides his face in his hands and then cracks his knuckles before eventually laying down his hand."Alec shows two fives," said tournament director Robbie Thompson which roused a long-winded "Woooot" from the peanut gallery.

The flop comes
. Torelli checks to Tran, who fires off a 130,000-chip bullet. Torelli thinks for about 20 seconds before raising to 410,000. Tran leans back in his chair a bit, staring down the table at Torelli and trying to pick up some information to help him with his decision. He picks up his cards, holds them out in front of him, squeezes them for a moment longer, then mucks.That's the last hand of the level. Tran's prediction did not come to pass.
