With 70,000 or so in the pot and the board reading [QdJhJc], Jimmy Tran moves all-in from early position for 63,500 and Andreas Hoivold thinks a while before calling.
Tran asks, "Two nines?" He then flips up [KhTh] for an open-ended straight draw.
Tran predicted Hoivold’s hand exactly, as he shows [9s9d]. The turn brings the [9c] and Tran lets out a celebratory yes before he realizes Hoivold filled up and he is drawing dead. The river is the [Tc] and Tran is eliminated.
Andreas Hoivold – 565,000 (94 big blinds)
Jimmy Tran – eliminated in 37th place ($16,120)
