New Chipleader Kenny TranKenny Tran = New Chipleader; Andy Philachack Eliminated
On a board of 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Kenny Tran and Andy Philachack were in a raising war. When it was over, they both shoved their entire stacks all in.

Philachack: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Tran: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Philachack had a Jack-high straight. Tran had a higher straight. The river was the J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and Tran dragged a monster pot worth over 1 million. Tran is the first player to pass the 1 million chip mark. He is currently the chipleader.

Uh, at what point in the raising war do you realize you don't have the nuts?

[/ QUOTE ]

Apparently when the other guy turns over the nuts.

lol. he probably thought they both had a jack high straight, but he had a king so he was drawing to a higher straight. But yea still dumb to play such a huge pot like that.

[/ QUOTE ]If they don't end up getting it all in, then the player with QT has misplayed the hand.

KT always has the option of going to Valuetown.

Plus, if you have QT, you don't want to blow any 65 or 99 type hands out of the water.
