Echague cracks a smile, one that slowly diminished after the flop rolled out on the felt. A peels off as a turn card to seal it for Tran and Echague is drawing dead to the river.

Echague still has around average after the blow to his stack and Tran now sits near the top of the remaining 40 players.

Khac-Trung Tran – 1,450,000 (97 bb)
Mateo Echague – 610,000 (41 bb)
