Caruso Reenters, Earns a Quick Double

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Derrick Thomas bet 7,000 from under the gun on a board of 9♠10♣Q♣3♣ and Michael Mathias called in the small blind. Christopher Caruso, who had just fired another bullet, then raised to 25,000 in the big blind and only Thomas called.

The river was the J♠ and Caruso bet 16,000. Thomas then moved all in, and Caruso called for 32,000. Thomas showed K♥J♦ for a straight, but Caruso had 9♣5♣ for a flush to win the pot and double up.
