Thomas Finds an Unconventional Double
Nível 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
A player in early position limped in, which was followed by three additional limps behind him. In the small blind, Peter Park squeezed, moving all in for 2,300,000. The original limper folded, as did the player in middle position.
The action fell on Benjamin Thomas, in the hijack, who went deep into the tank. Thomas thought for so long a neutral player at the table called the clock, prompting him to put his last 1,380,000 in the middle. The last limper behind Thomas folded and the hand went to a showdown.
Benjamin Thomas: A♠J♠ 
Peter Park: A♥3♥
The board ran out 5♠10♠2♦Q♦A♣. Thomas held to double up. Thomas later thanked the player who called the clock on him, claiming it aided in his decision-making.
