No "Sick Call" for Tran This Time

Kenny Tran is known for making some amazingly thin calls that work out, but a recent call against Filippo Candio proved to be the wrong choice. Candio opened for 1,400 on a board of {4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Tran raised that bet to 3,500, then was facing a raise back of an additional 10,000. He called.

Candio continued his story on the {9-Diamonds} turn by betting 17,000. Again Tran called, taking the players to a river of {5-Diamonds}. Candio put 22,000 chips into the pot and Tran went into the tank. He put his arms over his head, counted out his stack, and then called. Candio showed {3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for two small pair but they were big enough to take down the pot.

Tran slipped to 73,000. Candio is up to 172,000.
