Thorp Scores a Double Elimination
Level 35
: 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Saigokul Kannan moved all-in for 10,800,000 from middle position. Lowell Braddock on the button jammed for 2,700,000, then Timothy Thorp in the small blind called Kannan's bet.
It took a few minutes for the dealer to count the main pot and the side pot, but once done, she spread a flop of 5♥6♣Q♣. Thorp bet and Kannan waited for a minute to reach the next pay jump to call with the single 100,000 chip he had left.
Lowell Braddock: 8♣8♥ 
Saigokul Kannan: A♠J♣
Timothy Thorp: Q♠Q♥
Thorp flopped a set and even a full house with the 6♠3♠ runout to eliminate both of his opponents.
