Thomas Keeps His Main Event Hopes Alive
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Action folded around to a short-stacked Travell Thomas on the button and he moved all in for 9,100. The small blind folded, but since it wasn't too much more to Johannes Mueller, he decided to call from the big.
Thomas: 
Mueller: 
Both players held a seven, which meant Thomas' kicker made him the favorite. The 
flop didn't do much, but the 
turn made things interesting as Thomas paired his eight while Mueller picked up an open-ended straight draw. Fortunately for Thomas, the 
blanked on the river and he was able to double through.
