Wham Bam Ouch For Tran

Oh bugger!
Oh bugger!
As I followed the snail trail of cameramen as they dribbled through the rail and towards Table Tran, I was met with a board of {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and an all-in of 5,800 from Tero Salonen.

Kenny Tran pretty much beat his opponent into the pot and proudly flipped over {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}, his kicker dominating that of Tero's {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

However, even with one card to come, anything can happen in this cruel game, and so it was with great amazement (although I fear the sickos on the rail throughly enjoyed the excitement of it all) that the dealer slammed down a wicked {10-Spades} to give the shortstack the pot.

Tran jumped up in frustration, nearly knocking me sideways in the process, and left the table to walk around the balcony. Once composed, he returned to action, but the 35k stack sailing south will certainly sting for a good while yet.
