Tran Playing Big Pots

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hieu Tran has been unafraid to play in big pots all day, and his fearlessness is carrying into the night.

He recently played two million-chip pots, one against Sergei Rylkov and the other against Yevgeni Rapoport.

In the first hand, he and Rylkov were heads up on a board of {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Tran fired 325,000 into a pot of 800,000, Rylkov called, and both players checked when the river brought the {6-Spades}. Rylkov showed {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, and won the pot.

A few hands later, there was another million in the middle on a board of {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Tran fired out 800,000, and Rapoport went deep into the tank. The clock was called, and eventually Rapoport folded.
