Action folds around to Rob Brown in the small blind and he takes a peek at his cards.
“If I see a pair, I think I have to shove,” he laughs.
Brown sees something he likes and moves all in for ~35,000. Kwinsee Tran looks at his cards in the big blind and quickly calls to put Brown at risk. Tran’s small pair is racing Brown’s and the is not good for Brown.
“Jack!” Brown asks the universe.
He gets his wish with the turn to give him 14 river outs (open-ended straight draw plus two overs) but the is not one of them. Brown is eliminated in 19th place and tournament staff broke the turbo down to the last two tables.
Kwinsee Tran – 112,000 (28 bb)
