Tran Makes Sick Call With Deuces; Alcober Falters
On one of the last hands of the night we found Benjamin Alcober and Nghi Van Tran looking at a flop. Alcober bet 32,000 only to be raised to 65,000 by Tran. Alcober called and they both checked the turn.
Alcober pushed out 165,000 on the river and Tran went into the tank.
"This is so sick if I call," Tran said. "I don't have much."
Eventually Tran called and Alcober showed for nothing but king-high. Tran jumped up and down and showed for a rivered pair of deuces. The table burst into laughter and Alcober took a major hit from Tran's river call.
Alcober, who was at one point the chip leader today, has now fallen to 789,500.
