Tran Ready to Fire
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Henry Tran is occupying a seat at a table near the edge of the room, making a surprise appearance here at Mid-States Poker Tour Golden Gates. Tran, a live tournament player well known for his extremely loose aggressive style, has more than $1.7 million in cashes on his resume.
In one recent pot, Tran thought better of barreling off after his opponent check-called 2,200 on a board of 
, checking back the 
river. His opponent showed 
for top pair, so it proved to be a prudent decision.
Don't worry, though. Tran was back to ratcheting up the pressure the very next hand, opening to 525 under the gun and getting no takers.
Defending champ Reza Yazdi also entered the tournament.
