Thomas Four-Flushes an Elimination

With a player limping from early position, Barney Thomas opened from the button to 450. His opponent called.

With a flop of {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Thomas raised to 1,650 over his opponent's 500-chip bet. The response by his opponent was a 2,950 all-in. Thomas made the call and tabled {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} to be behind the flopped two-pair of {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

The {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn giving Thomas the lead, and after the {9-Hearts} peeled on the river Thomas, moved up to over 13,000 in chips.
