Jerri Thomas Doubles Up... Again

James Gorham made it 10,000 to go under the gun. Nikolay Evdakov made the call, as did Jerri Thomas from late position. Three players saw a flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Gorham checked, Evdakov checked as well, and then Thomas moved all in.

Gorham folded and Evdakov asked for a count. The dealer announced it was 21,000 and Evdakov confirmed. He then made the call and showed {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Thomas held a pair of eights, {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The turn came the {7-Spades} and the river the {6-Spades} to allow Thomas to double up and then some to over 75,000.
