Sombero Eliminates Another

Wally Sombero is feeling very comfortable in the Dusit Thani ballroom that is serving as the venue for this event. Despite the chill in the air from the HVAC system, Sombero is running hot. He led out 2,300 in a three-way limped pot on a flop of {Q-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, then was faced with a big decision when the player in the small blind check-raised all in for 8,400. Sombero made the call with {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} and was elated to see that his intuition was correct -- his opponent was on a flush draw with {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs}.

"Red! Red!" Sombero called out as the dealer burned and turned the rest of the board. He got his request. The turn and river were both red cards -- {K-Diamonds} and {4-Diamonds}. Sombero's pair of queens held up to increase his count by another 9,500 chips total.
