Kiet Tran Eliminated in 3rd Place ($223,665)

Kiet Tran - 3rd Place
Kiet Tran - 3rd Place

One hand after timing out, Kiet Tran sat back in and limped from the small blind. Jeff Tebben raised an additional 250,000 from the big blind. Then after some thought, Tran moved all in for 2,775,000 more. Tebben confidently called the aggressive move and was instantly pleased with his decision.

Showdown
Tran: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Tebben: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The entire rail was on its feet, and Tebben and McNamara's friends were all pulling for the nines to hold. The {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop was a little dicey for Tebben, adding a flush draw to Tran's over card. The {6-Spades} on the turn and {j-Diamonds} on the river both bricked for Tran, and he was sent home in third place. At the beginning of the day, Tran said he wanted to improve on his previous largest cash, $110,000. He more than doubled that with his $223,665 win here.
