Thomas Does It Again

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Travell Thomas has a knack for calling cards. Earlier today he caught runner-runner to stay alive, which involved requesting and being given the {A-Clubs} on the river. Amazingly he's done it again.

It happened after Leon Halat opened for 25,000 and Thomas moved all in for 85,000 from the cutoff. Halat called and the cards were turned up.

Halat: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Thomas: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop paired both players, but of course Halat was still best. Thomas began to get up, but when the {6-Hearts} turned he picked up a flush draw.

"Queen of hearts," Thomas called. Right on cue the dealer burned and put out the {Q-Hearts}!

Thomas made a flush to double while the crowd reacted in stunned disbelief. Meanwhile, Halat say silently with a stern look on his face.
