J.C. Tran Wins Event No. 30 ($235,685), Jeff Kimber Eliminated In 2nd Place ($145,656)

Jeff Kimber raised to 120,000 on the button and J.C. Tran made the call. The flop came 9Diamond Suit7Spade Suit7Heart Suit and Tran checked. Kimber bet 75,000 and Tran contemplated briefly before making the call. The 8Spade Suit hit the turn and Tran bet out 100,000. Kimber instantly went all-in and Tran quickly called.

Their cards:

Tran: KSpade SuitQHeart Suit8Club Suit8Spade Suit

Kimber: 6Heart Suit5Spade Suit4Diamond Suit3Club Suit

Tran hit the perfect card in the deck on the turn, giving him eights full. Kimber flopped a gutshot straight draw with his connecting cards and hit, but he saw disaster when Tran flipped over a hand that had him drawing dead. The river was a meaningless 3Spade Suit, making Tran’s victory official. Tran won Event No. 30 and his second bracelet, eliminating Kimber in second place.
