The Call Pays Off

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sam Williams raised to 10,000 from under the gun as the action folded to Stephen Thompson in the hijack. The short stack in the tournament with just 16,000 in his stack went into the tank for over 2 minutes before finally putting his chips into the middle. The decision fell back on Williams who made the call as both players tabled their cards.

Williams:
Thompson:

Thompson was in front until the flop came down giving Williams the lead with two pair. The dropped on the turn giving Thompson no help.

��Ten ball,�� said Blatt, as the dealer peeled the river.

The was exactly what came up giving Thompson a set as the crowd railing him erupted. A great double up for the shortest stack as he survived to fight another day.
