Aquilina:
Thomas:
Thomas seemed shocked that his opponent called him with the hand that he did, but there was nothing that could be done about it now. Needless to say, the flop didn't sit too well with Thomas as Aquilina paired his king to take the lead, not to mention his flush draw.
Thomas, who finished eighth in this very event last year, was up out of his seat and didn't even notice the turn gave him back the lead with trips. Before he could, the spiked on the river to give Aquilina the flush. Thomas was lamenting the defeat when he noticed the second ten.
"I didn't even see it," he said. "I knew my demise would be to some shit like that."
