Poker Journal

The main discussion on day 1 at the 2007 world poker finals was about a hand involving J.C. Tran and another player who wished to remain nameless.

Both players were involved in the pot, the flop comes 995 J.C. Tran and player 2 go all in, Tran reveals a 9 for trips, player 2 instantly mucks his hands before seeing the turn and river.

The dealer however shows player 2’s hand to reveal A 7 offsuit, the turn and river reveal 6 and 8 to give player 2 a straight. After much debating the pot is awarded to player 2 dispite the fact he mucked his hand. J.C. Tran insited on seeing video footage but to no avail and was out of the tournament, player 2 is still in with $25,000 chips.
