Jimmy Tran Eliminated in 13th Place ($44,767)

Jimmy Tran - 13th Place
Jimmy Tran - 13th Place
Josh Arieh opened up a can of worms with a raise to 60,000. Jimmy Tran made the call, and action came around to Billy "The Croc" Argyros. He reraised to 260,000. Arieh called, and Tran followed suit, all in for his last 126,000.

The flop came {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. The Croc bet out 240,000, and Arieh reluctantly folded. With the betting complete, the hands were turned over:

Tran: {10-Hearts} {J-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}
Argyros: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Jimmy Tran was all in and needing some help to stave off elimination. No help came though. In fact, the {8-Clubs} peeled off on the turn, making Argyros an unbeatable flush. "Wrap it up, buttercup!" came the cheer from The Croc, now uninterested in the river card. He eliminated Jimmy Tran, who slammed his cards down on the table and walked towards the exit. He scores a 13th-place finish, and will take home almost $45,000.
