After a flop of 9h5s2d, Tommy Tran bets 40,000 from the small blind, and Wilfor Marentes Pinto moves all in from the big blind for 210,000. Hyndi Khomutetsky folds in the cutoff, and then Tran goes into the tank for a very long time.

Eventually, Tran calls, and both players show their cards.

Tommy Tran:  KsKh8d6s  (pair of kings gutshot straight draw)
Wilfor Marentes Pinto:  Ad9c8h4d  (pair of nines)

Tran is ahead, and he called out for a seven to complete his straight. Sure enough, the turn card was the 7d, and Tran briefly celebrated before realizing that Pinto picked up a diamond flush draw. “No diamond!”

The river card was the 5h, and Tran won the pot with his nine-high straight to eliminate Pinto in sixth place.

Tommy Tran  –  620,000  (31 bb)
Wilfor Marentes Pinto  –  Eliminated in 6th Place  ($2,205)
