More for Thomas

In the last hand of Level 32, Jacob Balsiger raised to 500,000 from the button and Russell Thomas called from the big blind. The flop came {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and both checked. Thomas then pushed out 550,000 following the {K-Clubs} turn, and Balsiger called.

The river was the {8-Spades}, putting a second pair on the board. Thomas bet again — 1.2 million this time — and Balsiger let it go.

Thomas pushes up over the 20 million-chip mark with that one, while Balsiger ducks just below it.
