Hands #178-179: Tran Now on the Short Stack
Hand #178: Alex Antonios limped the button, Michael Tran did the same from the small blind, and Steven Zhou checked his option to make it a family pot to the 
flop, which they all checked. When the 
appeared on the turn, Tran checked, Zhou bet 11,000, and Antonios folded. Tran called and then both players returned to checking on the 
river. Tran showed the 
and Zhou mucked.
Hand #179: Tran raised to 21,000 from the button and then called when Zhou, who seems to be the only player willing to reraise, three-bet to 45,000 from the small blind. Both players checked the 
flop, and then Zhou bet 33,000 on the turn. Tran raised to 83,000, Zhou called, and the 
completed the board on the river.
Zhou announced that he was all in, and Tran, who had 280,000 or so back, thought for about 40 seconds before giving it up.
