Down to 106,500 exactly, Cuong Tran had to get some chips from somewhere, and as it turned out it would be from two players at once. He moved in preflop, called quickly by neighbour Jamie Brown, as well as by Martin Silke. Tension mounted as the exact amount was sliced off each of the big stacks and put into a tasty pot in the middle.
The flop: Js-Qh-9h. At this Tran gave a little whoop, and in a breach of regular table etiquette flashed everyone behind him his hand and celebrated for just a second - Qc-Qd for the flopped set. I can't imagine the two big stacks in the hand with him missed this, or the fact that he sort of settled down when the turn paired the Nine, and they just checked it down all the way to the river when Tran showed down what everyone gathered he had.
Following on from this he's hardly been out of a pot - check-raising Jamie Brown on a 5d-Qc-6h-8c board after Jamie gave it a 70k shot last I saw of him. Brown instantly passed, btw.
