Rich Tomman had just 3,800 chips left, and they all went into the middle preflop. Jesse Hale, Ari Engel, and Jeff Daubs called. With three live players in, and Tomman at risk for his tournament life, the dealer ran the flop.

It came {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

. All three players checked.

Fourth street brought the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

. Engel led out with a small bet of 4,000, enough to get Daubs and Hale out.

Showdown:
Engel: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

Tomman:

{J-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

Tomman knew he was good as soon as Engel tabled his cards. The irrelevant {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

hit the river, and Tomman more than quadruples up, close to 15,000 now.
