Russell Thomas Takes a Minor Hit

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Russell Thomas took over from Kitty Kuo for the late stage of Day 1 and he's steadily guarding the decent stack his wife managed to build. However, you can't win them all, is what they say.

Thomas was out of position in a heads-up pot, checking to his opponent on the {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop. The prize for seeing the turn card was set on 2,600 and Thomas agreed.

He check-called again on the {9-Clubs} turn, paying 6,500 this time. The river card was the {2-Hearts} and the action went check-check. Thomas showed {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} but it wasn't enough to beat {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}.
