Vaswani Misses Draw
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Francis Thomas opened to 1,500 from early position and was called by Ram Vaswani in the small blind and Jon Spinks in the big blind.
The flop came 
and it was checked to Thomas who bet 2,500. Vaswani check-raised to 7,000 (in effect, putting Thomas all in) and Spinks folded. Thomas quickly called all in and both players tabled their hands.
Vaswani: 
Thomas: 
The 
on the turn didn't change anything and while the river was black, it was the 
- a blank that allowed Thomas to double up. Vaswani has been knocked down to 8,000 as a result.
