Tran Turns Up the Pressure

Theo Tran has been active on Orange 310 to start today. Sitting in late position, he was the only player to call Joshua Weizer's pre-flop raise to 5,000. Tran called another 11,500 on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. When the board started to straighten out with the {5-Diamonds} turn and Weizer bet another 17,500, Tran opted to raise to 37,500. Weizer considered the raise for about a minute before calling.

The board became even more connected when the river fell {8-Spades}. Weizer checked and was soon facing a bet of 55,000 from Tran.

"I know you know what I have," Weizer mused aloud. Tran said nothing until after Weizer folded.

"Yeah, I had to turn my hand into a bluff," Tran replied as he flashed {j-Spades}{9-Spades}.
