Event 15 (Day 2): Tran Gets The Double

Level 23 (Blinds 8,000/16,000/2,000)
Total Entries: 543
Players Remaining: 17

After an open from John Campbell to 36,000, action would fold to David Tran.  Tran would three-bet all-in for 187,000, with the players folding back to Campbell.  John would ask for a count and make the call once he got the official number:

Tran: J♠ J♣      Campbell: A K

Flop: 6 2♣ 2

Turn: 8♠

River: 8

"It's a race," said Chan as the dealer pulled the cards toward the middle.  Although John wouldn't flop a pair, he gained many outs to a flush.  The turn and river would be a sweat for Tran, but he would win the hand and double to 400,000 (just short of average).
