Thomas Among First Few Eliminations

Level 35 : Blinds 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

"blebelea" made a minraise to 280,000 from under the gun and Julian "HealTheWorld" Thomas called from the big blind. The flop fell A68 and Thomas proceeded with a check, after which "blebelea" put out a continuation-bet worth 248,325.

Thomas then put in a raise to 700,000 before "blebelea" three-bet to put Thomas' 1,424,242 remaining chips at risk. Thomas made the call and the two players showed down.

Julian "HealTheWorld" Thomas: K2
"blebelea": Q9

Best case scenario for Thomas, who had the flush draw with the highest card. However, the 9 turn paired "blebelea" and the 7 river was a big blank.

Thomas was one of several players that busted in the first five minutes of play on Day 3.
