Fuller Wins a Big Pot

Action seems to be slowing down here in Event #9, but that hasn't stopped Thomas Fuller. Sitting in the big blind, he called a button raise to 3,000. The players saw a flop of {6-Hearts} {4-Spades} {2-Clubs}. Fuller check-called a bet of 6,000 from his opponent. The turn came {7-Clubs} and Fuller checked again. This time his opponent bet 12,000. Fuller came over the top all in; the button called all in for a total of 30,000. When the dust settled, they opened their hands:

Fuller: {6-?} {7-?}
Button: {6-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

The button needed a five or a club, but got neither when the river came {A-Diamonds}. He was eliminated from the tournament on this hand, while Fuller increased his stack to about 150,000.
