Shankar Pillai Has Heaps

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

In a five-way limped pot, the flop came {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Jeanmarc Thomas was the first to bet 12,000 from the big blind. Shankar Pillai called from middle position, and everyone else folded.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}, and Thomas checked to Pillai, who bet the pot — 36,000. Thomas pushed all in for 45,000, and Pillai called.

Pillai: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Thomas: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Pillai was in front with a six-high straight, but Thomas had a bigger straight draw and three pair, looking for a full house. The river brought the {3-Diamonds}, providing no help to Thomas, and he was sent to the cash cage while Pillai stacked chips from another pot.
