"blebelea" made a minraise to 280,000 from under the gun and Julian "HealTheWorld" Thomas called from the big blind. The flop fell A♣6♥8♣ and Thomas proceeded with a check, after which "blebelea" put out a continuation-bet worth 248,325.
Thomas then put in a raise to 700,000 before "blebelea" three-bet to put Thomas' 1,424,242 remaining chips at risk. Thomas made the call and the two players showed down.
Julian "HealTheWorld" Thomas: K♣2♣
"blebelea": Q♣9♣
Best case scenario for Thomas, who had the flush draw with the highest card. However, the 9♠ turn paired "blebelea" and the 7♦ river was a big blank.
Thomas was one of several players that busted in the first five minutes of play on Day 3.
