Thomas Keeps Climbing

Barney Thomas has just sent another player packing and is now sitting pretty with a stack of nearly 20,000.

After raising to 525 pre-flop and finding only one caller, he led for 1,125 on a flop of {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. His opponent made the call and after the {6-Clubs} landed on the turn, Thomas put his opponent all-in for 3,500. His opponent called and tabled {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a flush draw. He would need a lot of help to out-draw Thomas's {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

The river fell a meaningless {Q-Hearts}, and Thomas moved up to 19,825 as his opponent headed to the rail, just ten minutes short of reaching the first break.
