Tomassi "Gambles" to Win Massive Pot

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, Sharman Olshan fired a continuation bet worth 3,000 and Lou Tomassi called. Blake Napierala then shoved for 27,025, and Olshan took little time before making the call. Tomassi then went into the tank for several minutes.

"To gamble or not to gamble," Tomassi said as he stood up from his seat.

He decided to gamble after a clock was called on him, calling the bet and leaving around 25,000 behind in his stack. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Olshan immediately moved all in. Tomassi called, and a crowd gathered to check out the hands.

Napierala: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Olshan: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Tomassi: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Napierala was ahead with his two pair, but he had to fade a king or a club to win the huge pot. The dealer rolled over the {3-Clubs} and Tomassi yelled in celebration as his flush took down the entire pot, eliminating Olshan and Napierala in the process.
