| Thomas Stevens |
Level 17
Blinds: 2,000/4,000 Ante: 500
On a board reading [7s][5d][2c], a player in the big blind checks, Thomas Stevens bets 20,000 in middle position, and a player in the cutoff calls. With action back on the big blind, he goes into the tank. Over the course of nearly three minutes, he glances back at his cards three times, sits back in his chair, and puts his hands on his head. After another 30 seconds, he announces that he is all in, and moves his stack of 85,000 in chips in front of him.
Stevens re-shoves all in over the top of the big blind, the cutoff folds, and the following hands are tabled:
Stevens: [7h][7d] (set of sevens)
Big Blind: [8s][8h] (pair of eights)
Unfortunately for the player in the big blind, the [5s] turn and [qc] river does not improve his hand, and he is eliminated from play.
Thomas Stevens is now sitting with one of the larger stacks in the room, holding 315,000.
