Hand #17: J.C. Tran

There was a dead button. Rasmus Nielsen raised to 80,000, and J.C. Tran called from the small blind.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Both checked. The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, and Tran bet 100,000. Nielsen called.

The river brought the {8-Clubs}. Tran thought a moment, then bet 170,000. Nielsen looked up at Tran, then back down at the board. He finally pulled 170,000 from his huge stack and made the call.

J.C. showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a jack-high straight, and Nielsen folded.
