Luckily, after a flop of Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3][/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], Tran caught running Spades to double up to $60,000, while Ian Johns dropped to $160,000.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mon Jul 17 15:01:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Theo Tran Rolling[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]With a board showing A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], Theo Tran's A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3] held up against Ian Johns.

As the river card approaches Theo chants, "King or a 4! King or a 4!" The river is the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3] and Theo, ecstatic, rakes in his pot while thanking, "The Poker Gods." [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mon Jul 17 15:34:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Ben "Kid Rock" Robinson Eliminated[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Under the gun, Ian Johns raises to $12,000 and from the big blind, Ben Robinson, bizarro "Kid Rock," calls.

Ben shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3] and Ian, much to Ben's chagrin, exposes A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3].
