Travell "T" Thomas won a WSOP-C ring here at Caesars just three days ago, and the 30-year old business owner from Buffalo, NY is battling for a second.
Just moments ago he was faced with a raise to 525 from a player in early position and a call from another player in middle position. Thomas called from the blinds and after the flop fell 
he led for 1,050. The original raiser quickly folded, while Thomas' other opponent stopped to think for a moment.
"I don't want your action, sir," Thomas told him.
His opponent obliged, folding his hand and Thomas opened 
.
"My favorite hand," he professed.
"Really?" the original raiser blurted. "How did eights become your favorite hand?"
"Well, today they are," Thomas responded.
The table laughed and Thomas raked in the pot.
