Strout Fades the Cooler To Stay Alive
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Stephen Strout opened to 85,000 in the hijack and William Thomas three-bet shoved on the button. Strout immediately called once action made its way back to him.
Stephen Strout: 
William Thomas: 
Strout was saved on the turn of a runout 
and scored the pot, resulting in a reaction from Thomas after taking the beat.
"Hold on, you might have some chips," said the dealer. She was right, with Strout's stack totaling 525,000 and Thomas' being around 120,000 more.
