Kenny Tran has the button. He completes the small blind. Jonathan Jaffe checks. The flop comes {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. Both players check it through to the turn, which is the {K-Diamonds}. Tran bets 15,000, folding Jaffe.

Hand #26 - Kenny Tran

Jonathan Jaffe has the button and makes it 36,000 to go; Kenny Tran makes the call.

The flop comes {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and Tran passes the first action to Jaffe who leads out with a bet of 52,000; Tran makes the call.

The turn brings the {8-Spades} and again, Tran passes the action to Jaffe who fires another bullet - this time for 92,000. Tran quickly reaches for chips and kicks it up to 242,000. Jaffe tanks for a minute and takes another look at his cards before eventually making the call.

5th street is the {2-Clubs} and Tran unleashes a monstrous 500,000 bet, putting Jaffe to a big decision. After another dip in the tank, Jaffe ultimately opts to fold.

With the win, Tran assumes the chip lead for the first time in the match.

Hand #25 - Kenny Tran

Kenny Tran has the button. He completes the small blind. Jaffe raises to 47,000. Tran makes the call.

The flop comes {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. Jaffe leads out for 70,000. Tran thinks, then calls to see the {A-Diamonds} fall on the turn. Jaffe wastes no time in checking the action over to Tran, but Tran checks behind. The river comes {7-Hearts} and Jaffe checks again. Tran bets 200,000 but Jaffe wants nothing to do with it, and immediately folds his hand.
