Tran Doubles Through Custer
Michael Frederick raised to 150,000 from the button and then tank-folded when David Smith moved all in from the big blind.
One hand later, Jim Custer min-raised to 100,000 from the button, he had initially announced a raise to 75,000 but was then corrected by the dealer. David Tran made the call in the big blind and they both saw the flop. Tran check-raised all in for 565,000 and Custer called off after having committed 225,000 for his continuation bet.

Neither the turn nor the river were cards that Custer wanted to see and the next short stacked player in the showdown holds up. Tran used the little heater by raising the small blind and stealing the big blind and antes.
