Tommy Bates

We were on the other side of the room when we heard a familiar voice raised up high.

“Pair the board!” we heard from Tommy Bates.

We got there in time to see him all in for 78,500 against Edgardo Rosario with the flop reading 9c6c5c. Bates flopped a set with 5s5d but didn’t need to pair the board against Rosario’s AcTd, he only needed to fade a club.

The Js turn and 7h river finished the board and Bates doubled up.

“I’m back in the game boys!” Bates told them. “You’re gonna have to pry these chips out of my hand.”

Tommy Bates – 177,000 (59 bb)
Edgardo Rosario – 161,000 (54 bb)
