The Volatility of Theo Tran

Theo Tran
Theo Tran
It is apparent from the early action that Theo Tran is more than happy to push around his big stack.

He has been up and down several times already, and he just became involved in another big pot, this time with his tournament life on the line.

He and Rocco Pace got all their chips into the pot preflop. Tran had been chipped down to 62,800, and he mentioned, "I need to get my chips back," as he pushed in and turned over {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} . Pace tabled {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} , and he and Tran were racing for a big pot.

Tran held when the board came {8-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {5-Clubs} , and he has more than doubled back up to 150,000.
