Triple Whammy for J.C. Tran

[user75032]

Three recent hands have all ended with J.C. Tran on the wrong side of the fence, lowering his chip count all the way to 10,000. First, he called a bet of 2,700 from Ivan Tan on the turn of a board showing {A-Diamonds}

. The river was the {K-Spades}

, bringing a quick check from both players. Tan showed {A-Spades}

to take down the pot.

The two tangled again when Tan raised to 1,300 preflop and Tran called. Tan checked the {7-Diamonds}

flop to Tran, who took a stab at the pot by firing out a bet of 2,000. Tan check-raised him to 7,000 (a sign, perhaps?), inducing a quick fold.

In the third and final hand, Tran was the preflop aggressor with a raise to 1,300. His nemesis this time was Mike "Timex" McDonald, who made the call in late position. The flop was {Q-Diamonds}
