Thomas Busts One

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Four players �� including Travell Thomas and chip leader Scott Hosbach �� limped, and the player in the small blind moved all in for 22,500. The action folded back to Thomas, who re-shoved for about 55,000 more, and the rest of the table folded.

Thomas: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Small Blind: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}

It was all over quickly as the {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop gave Thomas a straight, and the meaningless {3-Hearts} turn and {J-Spades} river sent another player to the rail. We're already down to 27 players and only 15 spots away from the money.
