Day 1E: Thibodaux's Five-Kicker Plays

After an open from Josh Thibodaux on the button, Peter Tran moved all in for 41k from the big blind. Thibodaux thought about it for a few moments but ultimately decided to make the call, putting Tran at risk. 

Thibodaux then flipped over A♦5♠ and was pleasantly surprised to be in great shape against A♠2♠, although these two hands chop a majority of the time. 

The flop of 8♣J♥6♣ sure made it look like it was going to be a chop, but the runout came 3♦4♠ to mean Thibodaux's five-kicker played to eliminate Tran. 

Thibodaux - 169k
Tran - 0
