Three Quarters for Tran Against McNeil

zedmaster84

Niveau 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Calen McNeil raised to 85,000 from under the gun and Long Tran potted to 335,000 on the button. McNeil asked for his stack size to then announce all-in before he noticed that Ben Yu was still to act out of the big blind.

Yu reluctantly folded and the all-in of McNeil was confirmed as Tran called it off for 750,000 total.

Long Tran: A♥A♠Q♣5♣
Calen McNeil: A♦A♣J♠10♥

To make a long story short, both had a pair of aces on the 9♦7♦2♥4♣J♦ board and Tran also won the low as he earned three quarters of the pot.

"That is unfortunate," Canadian McNeil remarked.
