Thompson tops the lot

[user76079]

Steven Thompson has risen to the top of the chip count list with 63,000. After hearing his celebrations we rushed over to see him rake in a massive pot. He held {a-} {q-} on a {j-} {10-} {k-} board (two diamonds). To you and me that the nuts. All the chips between him and an opponent went in but he had to dodge some bullets as his opponent held {q-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for a flush draw and open-ended straight-draw. The turn and river bricked and Thompson headed off for a spot of lunch. Well he can afford to miss a few hands now!
