Theo-Cracy

[user46392]

Theo Tran has had a fine post-dinner run to put him up to around 130,000.

He raised preflop and then called a reraise. He and his opponent checked the {8-Hearts}

flop, and Tran check-called a 6,100 bet on the {A-Clubs}

turn. Come the {4-Diamonds}

river, Tran bet out 45,000, enough to put his opponent all in, and the player folded.

That put him up to 100,000.

Then, a little later, there was a three-way all in at his table, Tran holding {A-Clubs}

and his opponents holding {K-Hearts}

and

respectively. Not enough help for the all in two on the {K-Spades}

board, and Tran was over 130,000.

"Anthony, don't write that down," he urged our field reporter, "I don't want people to know I pick up chips with aces."

Jennifer Harman turned to Anthony. "And the rest of them with kings," she added.

And if that weren't enough, the very next hand Tran found pocket tens and ran into an opponent holding pocket threes for quads on a {3-Hearts}
