Good Thinking, Theo

Following a couple of limpers, Theo Tran raised to 300 from the cutoff, and ended up with three callers total (the small blind plus both limpers). The flop came {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and all three players checked to Tran who bet 700. Just one player stuck around.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}. This time Tran's opponent led for 800 and Tran thought a while before making the call. The river was the {J-Clubs}, and both checked.

Tran's opponent showed {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} while Tran turned over {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} for the better pair. He has about 6,000 as we head to the first break of the day.
