Tough Call for Tran

The flop came out {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and John Tolbert checked. Thanh dat Tran bet 85,000 on the button, and Tolbert check-raised to 170,000. Tran called, and the turn brought the {3-Spades}. This time, Tolbert bet out 200,000. Tran called again, leaving himself 400,000 behind. The river was another trey, the {3-Hearts}. Tolbert applied maximum pressure, moving all in to force Tran to risk his tournament life. And somehow, Tran made the call - will {a-Spades}{8-Hearts} for second pair. Tolbert could only show {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a missed flush draw. "Nice hand," he said as he doubled Tran to 1.585 million. Tolbert fell to 330,000.
