After a flop of Diamond 9Spade 7Club 5, WPT Champions Club member J.C. Tran checks the small blind, Dana Kellstrom bets 20,000 from the button, and Tran check-raises to 52,000. Kellstrom calls.

The turn card is the Heart 3, Tran bets 55,000, and Kellstrom quickly calls.

The river card is the Spade J, and Tran takes a look at Kellstrom’s stack, which is around 40K, and Tran bets enough blue (5K) chips to put Kellstrom all in.

Kellstrom tanks for a while before he calls all in with Spade ASpade 9 for a pair of nines. But Tran turns over Diamond 8Diamond 6 for a flopped nine-high straight, and Kellstrom is drawing dead. The meaningless river card is the Spade J, and Kellstrom is eliminated from the tournament.

J.C. Tran  –  540,000  (135 bb)
Dana Kellstrom  –  Eliminated
