Shorr Bests Thomas
Action folded to Octo-Niner Russell Thomas in the cutoff seat. He opened with a raise to 300 and was called by Shannon Shorr on the button. The player in the big blind also called, and the dealer ran out the 
flop.
On the flop, action checked to Thomas. He fired 500 with Shorr making the call. The big blind check-raised to 1,500, but couldn't shake either of his opponents as Thomas and Shorr both called.
The turn brought the 
and kept things red. The big blind checked, and Thomas fired 2,700. Shorr called, then the big blind folded.
After the 
landed on the river, Thomas and Shorr each checked to get to the showdown. Thomas tabled the 
for a missed draw, holding just ace high. Shorr held the 
for a pair of eights and was awarded the pot.
