World Poker Open - Ship It to An Tran, Please

Rarely has a WPT final table brought together so many big name pros and champions. A WSOP World Champion and two WPT champs were at the table of the Gold Strike Casino World Poker Open in Tunica, Mississippi. Gavin Smith, Scotty Nguyen, An "The Boss" Tran, Bau "The Tiger" Le, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, and Raul Paez were all on the hunt for the million dollar first prize.

In this hand two pros - one new to the game only in comparison to the other - wrangled for a pot. Gavin held:

... and raised it up to $120k from early position. An Tran, a pro for 25 years, called from the big blind holding walking sticks, or wired sevens. He called with:

... looking for a good flop. The flop hit:

... pretty good for The Boss. An checked it to Gavin, who fired another $120k. An called. The turn came down:

... and this time both players checked. By now An had to be sure that his sevens were best. When the river hit:

... he must have been worried about a sneaky straight, because he went into the tank for quite some time. After some deliberation, he checked. Gavin checked as well and shipped An the pot.
