Tran Takes From Yoon

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Hand #65: Nghi "Henry" Tran raised to 260,000 from the cutoff and collected the blinds and antes.

Hand #66: Cuong Van Nguyen received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #67: Brian Yoon raised to 240,000 on the button and Nghi Tran called from the big blind. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Tran check-folded to Yoon's bet of 275,000.

Hand #68: Nghi Tran raised from the small blind and took down the pot.

Hand #69: Brian Yoon raised to 240,000 in the hijack and Nghi Tran called on the button. The flop came down {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Yoon continued for 315,000. Tran called to see the {7-Spades} turn where Yoon fired 575,000. Tran nearly beat him into the pot with calling chips and the {A-Clubs} river completed the board. A check from Yoon led to a bet of 600,000 from Tran. Yoon tanked for about four minutes before he called.

"You win...unless you called with king high. Then you lose," said Tran, as he tabled {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Yoon took one final look at his hand before tossing it to the muck,

"What a value bet!" yelled an excited Tran as he stacked his newly won chips, upping his stack to about 4.3 million. Yoon slipped to about 3 million.

Hand #70: Cuong Van Nguyen raised to 360,000 under the gun, and that was good enough to take the pot.

Hand #71: Roland Israelashvili bumped it to 265,000 on the button. Brian Yoon three-bet to 725,000 from the small blind. Israelashvili folded after a couple of minutes of thought.

Hand #72: Israelashvili took down the pot with a raise to 265,000.

Hand #73: Israelashvili raised to 265,000 once again, this time from under the gun, and he took the pot again.

Hand #74: Yoon raised to 240,000 under the gun, and Nghi Tran called from the button, as did Israelashvili in the big blind. The flop came down {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Yoon fired a continuation-bet of 350,000. Tran raised to 750,000, and Israelashvili got out of the way. Yoon thought for about a minute before shoving all in, and Tran beat him into the pot.

Tran: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Yoon: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Tran had sprung a trap by flatting with aces, and Yoon had fallen into it with his open-ended straight draw.

"Six-ball," someone yelled from the rail.

The dealer burned and turned, and sure enough, a {6-Diamonds} completed Yoon's straight and left Tran drawing dead.
