Thomas Playing a Dangerous Aggressive Game
Tom Thomas raised from late position to 5,000 and was called by Richard Hendricks on the button. Diane Cooley then three-bet all in from the big blind. Thomas called, and Hendricks folded.
Diane Cooley: A♥J♦
Tom Thomas: A♣10♥
The board ran out 3♣5♠2♠Q♥7♠ and gave Thomas no help, but Cooley got a much needed double up.
In the very next hand, Thomas raised again now from middle position to 3,000 and all other players folded except for Paul Ng, who made the call from the big blind.
The flop came 5♥Q♦8♦, Ng checked, and Thomas continuing his aggression bet out for 2,400. Ng called. The turn brought the 4♠, and again Ng checked, and this time Thomas bets out for 10,200. Ng thought for a while and made the call.
Both players checked the 2♣ river and Ng tabled 9♦10♦ for missed straight and flush draws whilst Thomas flipped over 7♦7♠ for third pair, which won him the pot.
