Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With only 30 players remaining, Vic Thornton raised all in for 12,000 preflop after Allen Bari raised before him for 2,700.

The others got out of the way as Bari called, then the cards were revealed:

Thornton: {a-Hearts}

{a-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

Bari:

{q-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

The flop of {q-Diamonds}

{q-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

was a nightmare for Thornton and there was no help when the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

fell on the turn.

Thornton was down to just three outs, and BOOM - down came the river {a-Spades}

{a-Spades}

to see him double up!

Thornton is up to 26,000 while Bari slips to 64,000 in chips.
