Jay Doubles Through Thomson

Level 5 : 300/600, 50 ante

The flop read {3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Pavan Jay had the all-in button in front of him in the under-the-gun position. John Thomson had a bet of 1,750 in front of him in the middle position and asked the dealer to take out his bet from the shove so he could see how much more it would be. The dealer did and confirmed it would be 7,025 extra for the call. Thomson cut out calling chips and made the call.

Pavan Jay: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
John Thomson: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Jay had flopped a set and Thomson top pair.

The turn was the {k-Spades} to now give Thomson two pair but keep Jay ahead.

The river completed the board with the {5-Spades} for Jay to double up while Thomson complimented him on the hand.

George Psarras: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
