Pair the Board!

Nghi Van Tran opened to 1,400 from middle position, Charles Flett called in the cutoff, and Paul Varano three-bet to 4,350 out of the small blind. Tran and Flett called.

The flop fell {2-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and Varano led for 7,150. Tran called, and Flett moved all in for 26,000. Varano re-jammed for around 54,000, and Tran snap-called.

Varano{a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Flett{a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Tran{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The turn was the {8-Spades}, giving Flett a flush, and Tran yelled, "Pair the board! Pair the board!"

The dealer obliged, spiking the {7-Clubs} on the river to give Tran quads. Varano and Flett were eliminated, and Tran now has around 160,000 chips.
