Hand #25 - Alec Torelli

Alec Torelli has the button and makes it 72,000 to go. Kenny Tran makes the call and we see a flop of {7-Hearts} {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}.

Kenny checks and Alec fires a continuation bet of 110,000. Kenny then check-raises to 310,000 and Alec makes the call.

The turn brings the {9-Hearts} and Kenny eases down on the brakes, passing the action over to Alec who checks behind.

The river brings the {4-Hearts} and a check, check sequence takes us straight to the showdown. Alec reveals {J-?} {8-?} for a pair of jacks and takes down the pot. Kenny mucked his cards.

Hand #24 - Alec Torelli

Kenny Tran has the button. He makes it 72,000 to go. Alec Torelli comes over the top with a raise of his own to 270,000. Tran thinks briefly, then makes the call.

The flop is a completely uncoordinated {10-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. Both players check it through. The turn pairs the board with the {3-Spades}. Both players check it through again. The river puts a third spade on the board when it falls {9-Spades}. Torelli feels this is the right time to fire -- he makes it 400,000 to go. Tran thinks, then makes the call. Torelli has a pair of tens in the hole; he flopped top set and made a full house. He takes down a big pot.

Hand #21 - Kenny Tran

Alec Torelli has the button and makes it 72,000 to go. Kenny Tran makes the call and we see a flop of {J-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades}.

Kenny takes control of the hand and leads out with a 125,000 bet. Alec then puts in a raise, upping the ante to 350,000. Kenny makes the call prompting the dealer to burn and turn the {7-Clubs}.

Kenny sits still for a moment, shuffling a small stack of chips before eventually firing a whopping 800,000 bet. Torelli quickly lets go of his hand and Tran takes down the pot.
