Conway's Tournament

Chris Dombrowski raised to 12,500 under the gun, Thomas Conway in the cutoff re-raised to 30,000 and the big blind went all in for 62,500. Dombrowski folded and Conway called.

Conway was behind with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against the {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} of the big blind. The flop came down {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades} giving Conway an inside straight draw.

The turn was the {J-Clubs} giving three of a kind to the big blind but the straight to Conway. The river was the {4-Clubs} and Conway moved up to 250,00 as the player in the big blind hit the rail.

A player at his table then said, "Thomas, this is your tournament, you've made some pretty sick draws." Conway just shrugged. Only time will tell if it really is his tournament
