Alec Torelli has the button and opens with a raise making it 72,000 to go. Kenny Tran studies things over and eventually re-raises to 222,000. Alec makes the call and sees a flop of {7-Hearts} {K-Spades} {10-Hearts}.

Tran pauses for a moment before eventually leading with a 200,000 bet. Torelli quickly lays it down and Tran picks up the pot.

Hand #18 - Alec Torelli

Alec Torelli has the button and raises to 72,000. Kenny Tran then puts in a re-raise, kicking it up to 260,000.

"What is it?" asked Torelli. "You're gonna have to help me out. I'm so terrible at math. I'm used to seeing that button (that says) 'call,' 'fold,'" joked Torelli, referencing online poker.

After some thought, Torelli re-pops it to 585,000 -- a bet that makes Tran squirm in his chair. A minute passes before Tran makes the call and we see a flop of {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}.

Kenny checks, passing the option to Torelli who quickly says, "All in." The bet sends Tran back into the tank and he plunks a green, 25,000 chip down on his cards.

Meanwhile, Torelli cast an imaginary fishing pole in Tran's direction, invoking a wave of laughter from the peanut gallery.

In the end, Tran let his hand go and Torelli scooped up the largest pot of the finals thus far.
