Event 15 (Day 2): 9th Place - Chan ($3,453)

Level 27 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 543
Players Remaining: 8

David Tran (Annandale, VA)
The fact that David Tran finished in eigth place (even made the final table) is a true feat.  Tran was down to 60,000 when the blinds were 10,000/20,000, managed to get a few doubles, and got himself right back in the mix.  He was the second shortest stack at the table, and shoved over an open from Andrew Powderly (Powderly would call):
&
Powderly: A Q
Tran: K♣ J♠

Runout: Q♣ J♠ 4♠ 9♣ 3

Tran had nine prior results to this one, total just under $16,000.  This is the second largest score of David's career, with his largest coming earlier this series during Event 4 ($350 No Limit Hold'em - 4th Place $6,649).
