Thomas Walsh (standing, right) watches as the last card falls |
Thomas Walsh was all in preflop holding [9s][9c] and was up against the [Ah][Kh] of Randal Sklar. The flop fell [4c][5s][Ac], giving Randal top pair. The [Tc] turn gave Thomas a flush draw to go with his two outs to a set. The dealer burned and placed the [6d] on the river, however, and Thomas will exit this tournament in 3rd place. He will collect $10,662 for his efforts.
