In the space of two quick hands, Kenny Tran has been eliminated from the Main Event. First, he raised all in on a flop of {A-Spades} {2-Spades} {Q-Hearts} after his opponent, Pattari Kangas, led out with a bet. Kangas made the call with the best hand -- his {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} against Tran's {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Tran did not improve through the river and slipped to about 6,000.

A few hands later, the dust barely settled from his last hand, Tran bet 2,500 on a flop of {J-Spades} {K-Spades} {3-Clubs}. His lone opponent, Jeremy Renz, check-raised to 8,000 and Tran called all in for his last 6,000. This time he was ahead with {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. But Renz held the dreaded flush draw with {6-Spades} {4-Spades} and got there when the turn fell {Q-Spades}. The river {2-Clubs} completed the board and ended Kenny Tran's Main Event.
