HomeFrustration on Nam Le is kicking in as Tran continues to rack up the chips. On a board of Q♠ 4♥ 5♠ K♥ 10♥ Tran took down a raised pot with just 10♠ 6♠.
Nam had A♦ something and was visibly frustrated after this hand.
From the button, Sekiya Yosuke opened to 50,000 but saw a re-raise from Khac Tran to 120,000. Yosuke wanted more too: he 3-bet to 148,000 total! However, Tran wouldn’t be denied and 5-bet with an additional 126,000!
Safe to say, this was a HUGE pot.
Yosuke tanked a bit.. then threw away his hand. For good measure, Tran showed his hand: Q♥ 4♦ (That’s not a typo.)
Even APT CEO Jeff Mann was impressed by this move from Khac Tran saying “A 5-bet bluff. Wow!”
Yosuke is now below a million in chips while Tran continues his climb with over 1.7M.
Khac Trung Tran – 1,560,000
Sekiya Yosuke 1,250,000
Nam Le 1,080,000
Thang Truong 320,000
Le at UTG raised to 50,000 preflop and saw both button (Khac Tran) and BB (Yosuke) make the call.
Flop 6♠ 5♦ 4♠ and turn 6♥ was checked and Le bet 75,000 on the river K♣. Tran called.
Le had 10♠ J♠ and Tran showed K♦ 9♦ and the latter took down the the pot.
First Tran Sekiya Yosuke steals the blinds and antes from the button with a standard 50K bet… Second it was Le’s turn, also from the button, to get the SB and BB + antes without challenge. Tran gets the next one with a raise from UTG.
All three big stacks are doing their thing so the small stack, Than Truong should start getting involved or else his going to go down without a fight.
From UTG, Nam Le opened with 48,000 and the buttong and SB folded. BB player Sekiya Yosuke however, announced a re-raise to 124,000. Le tanked and made the call.
Flop: K♣ J♠ 7♥
Sekiya bet another 100,000 to send Le to the tank once again. Le considered and considered and got two green stacks for 200,000. Sekiya announced a snappy all-in (for around 700,000) and Le folds faster than a speeding bullet.
Sekiya gets some off Le and has now around 1.1M. Le drops to roughly 1.2M.
Nam Le – 1,480,000
Khac Trung Tran – 1,460,000
From the button, Nam Le opened the betting to around 50,000 and saw Khac Tran re-pop it 118,000. Blinds fold and Le made the call.
8♦ 2♣ J♦ was checked by both players and on the turn 8♣ Tran bet 100,000.
Name made the call.
Estimated chip count says that Le and Tran’s stacks are now neck and neck with roughly 1.4M for each.
4 players left:
Le – 1.55M
Tran – 1.4M
Yosuke – 800K
Truong – 380K
