"I Need to Hit It"
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Action folded around to Travell Thomas on the button and he put in a raise to 3,000. Eric Nuss responded by moving all in for 8,600 from the small blind, the big folded, and Thomas simply smiled. It was obvious he didn't have much, but he made the call nonetheless.
Thomas: 
Nuss: 
"I need to hit it," Thomas said when the 
flop delivered him an open-ended straight draw. Thomas was excited about his prospects, but his spirits dampened a bit when the 
turn failed to help. The 
river also blanked, and Nuss scored the double.
"How do I flop all around my hand?" Thomas asked.
"Sick, isn't it," Nuss responded.
