"That Was a Slow Roll"

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

John Aga limped under the gun and a short-stacked Travell Thomas shoved all in from the cutoff for 26,000. The rest of the players folded and Aga thought for about 30 seconds before making the call.

Aga: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Thomas: {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

"That was a slow roll," the talkative Thomas said, "Ace of clubs."

Thomas asked but was not answered on the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop. "Ace of clubs," he tried again as he got out of his chair. The dealer did not oblige and put out the {J-Spades} instead.

Thomas was one card away from elimination, which is when his prays were answered... the {A-Clubs} spiked on the river! The table couldn't believe while a smiling Thomas sat back down.
