Thomas Loses the Classic Race

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

In a blind battle, Stoyan Obreshkov and Russell Thomas, who have been seated next to each other the entire day, got their stacks in the middle.

Stoyan Obreshkov: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Russell Thomas: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The race was as classic as they'd come, and it was Obreshkov who was at risk for his remaining 40,000. The board ran out {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}, leaving Thomas drawing dead on the turn.
