Thomas Flush With Chips

It's been a good week for Brent Thomas so far. After a huge result in Event #1 where he picked up $97,155 for his third place result, he now finds himself at the top of the chip count leaderboard in today's event as we start to get towards the business end of proceedings.

A large portion of his stack was obtained in a recent pot where George Cotaidis, Annette Obrestad and Thomas all called the preflop shove of 7,400 of a short-stacked player.

They saw a flop of {K-Spades}

and when the action checked to Thomas, he moved all in for his last 29,100 chips. Cotaidis and Obrestad stepped aside and the cards were tabled.

Thomas: {A-Spades}

Opponent:

Thomas had a big draw and he fell further behind on the {A-Clubs}

turn which gave his opponent a straight, but the {J-Spades}

on the river completed his flush to scoop the pot and eliminate his opponent. Thomas, who is competing in only his second-ever Omaha tournament, is now up to 58,500 chips.
