Hand #15 - Kenny Tran

Kenny Tran has the button. He completes the small blind. Alec Torelli raises from the big blind to 100,000 straight. Tran puts the extra chips in the pot, and we're off to a highly coordinated flop of {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. As soon as Tran reached for his chips, Torelli sent his hand into the muck.

Hand #11 - Alec Torelli

Kenny Tran has the button. He raises to 72,000. Alec Torelli makes the call from the big blind.

On a flop of {5-Hearts} {7-Spades} {A-Spades}, Torelli checks and Tran bets 100,000. Battle is joined for the first time, as Torelli check-raises to 260,000. Tran goes into the tank. He looks like he's talking to himself, but ultimately he lays down his hand.

Hand #9 - Kenny Tran

Kenny Tran has the button. He raises to 72,000. Alec Torelli makes the call from the big blind.

The flop is {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades}. Torelli checks to Tran, who makes a continuation bet of 125,000. That's enough to win the pot.
