Kenny Keeps Climbing

The action folded around to Quang Tran who raised to 2,500 before the flop in middle position. The player in the small blind called, but Kenny Nguyen quickly reraised from the big blind, making it 8,500 to go.

Tran called and the small blind got out of the way to let them go heads up to the flop of {J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Nguyen opened for 11,000 and Tran called, only to fold after Nguyen fired out a second shell worth 24,000 on the turn of the {5-Clubs}.
