Hand #51 - Kenny Tran

Kenny Tran has the button. He completes the small blind, and Alec Torelli checks. On a flop of {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {K-Clubs}, Torelli check-folds to Tran's 35,000 bet.

Tran has made a prediction that there will be a winner of this first match by the end of the round. There are 24 minutes remaining on the clock. Tournament emcee Robbie Thompson said if that prediction comes true, his new nickname would be 'Sick Prediction Kenny.'

Hand #46 - Kenny Tran

Alec Torelli has the button and limps into the pot. Tran checks and sees a flop of {8-Clubs} {4-Spades} {J-Hearts}.

Tran passes the first option to Torelli who bets 35,000. Tran then check-raises to 110,000 and Torelli makes the call.

The turn card is the {6-Clubs} and both players check.

The {8-Spades} falls on the river and once more, both players knuckle the table opting to go straight to the showdown. Tran tables {J-?} {5-?} which is good for two pair and Torelli mucks.
