"Back In It, Baby!"

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

"All in and a call," we heard a dealer yell. We made our way over just in time to see the entertaining Travell Thomas get his last 8,600 all in on a flop of {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Thomas had moved all in after his opponent in the small blind had checked. The call was made and the cards were turned up.

Thomas: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The small blind had flopped top pair, but it was second best to Thomas' pocket kings. The {6-Clubs} turn made things interesting as it gave the small blind a flush draw, but the {2-Diamonds} river proved a safe card for Thomas.

"Back in it, baby," Thomas shouted as he giddily collected the chips.
