Thunder to Lightning

The once very large poker player Thomas "Thunder" Keller is almost unrecognizable now. He's lost 200 pounds. We're now calling him Thomas "Lightning" Keller. Good for him!

He related this hand to us. He raised to 300 preflop and his opponent calls. The flop was {7-?}{3-?}{4-?} and he bet 500. The opponent reraised to 1,500. Keller re-popped to 5,000 and the opponent called. The turn was {2-?} and Keller shoved. His opponent called. Thomas showed {A-?}{A-?} and his opponent {K-?}{K-?}. The river was {9-?} and his opponent busted out. Thomas has 50,000 and has busted two players so far today.
