Tansey Hits Set to Stay Alive
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Gary Thompson raised to the minimum amount of 80,000 from the hijack and Thomas Kitt called in the cutoff. Liam Tansey was in the small blind and only played six big blinds in the form of 265,000 chips. He promptly shoved them in the middle hoping to multiply them. Thompson then went all-in as well for about the same amount as Kitt's stack.
Kitt quickly got out of the way, leading to a showdown between the other two.
Liam Tansey: 
Gary Thompson: 
Tansey was looking for a five and it miraculously arrived on the turn on the 
board. The river remained clean of eights with the 
and Tansey more than doubled to a more manageable stack.
