Thurman Holds to Double Up
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was picked up with Dennis Thurman on the button all in for 24,900, and the player in the big blind putting him at risk.
Dennis Thurman: 5♥5♣ 
Big Blind: A♦Q♦
Thurman was in front with his pocket fives, but would have to fade the two overs of his opponent. After the 5♦9♦4♠ flop he would have to avoid diamonds as his opponent picked up a flush draw as well. But the 8♣ on the turn and 6♠ on the river were safe for Thurman, giving him the double up.
