Theo Tran opened up the action to 50,000 from the hijack and the play was sent around to Bahman Jahanguiri in the big blind. He shoved all in for 483,000 and Jahanguiri looked sick as he contemplated the call.
"Do you want me to call?" asked Tran. "I don't even want me to call."
Time ticked on and Jahanguiri still hadn't decided to to do. Eventually he asked the floor if he could say his hand out loud and told his opponent he had ace-jack. After some more time, he made the call and the two players turned their hands over.
Jahanguiri:
Tran:
Tran seemingly made a good decision, but was then on his feet taking deep breaths as the board gave Jahanguiri the double up and left Tran with a pittance of the stack he once had.

Pham's was in good shape against Wilke's , but when the flop hit the felt, Wilke took the lead. However, the turn had other ideas, giving Pham the flush and by the time the meaningless rolled off on the river, Wilke was making his way out the door in 18th place.
