Ngoc "Jimmy" Tran Triples His Stack

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

We passed by a table with three players standing in anticipation and three large stacks of chips pushed towards the middle of the table. The dealer was having some trouble assessing exactly how many chips each player had, but when the accounting was finally settled Ngoc "Jimmy" Tran tabled his {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and turned back to watch the basketball game, confident that his pocket rockets would hold up.

His opponent's showed the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and the {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} respectively, and Tran was in a dominant position.

The final board rolled out {2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Tran tripled up to build a huge chip stack.
