Thompson Spikes River To Survive
Level 47
: 5,000,000/10,000,000, 10,000,000 ante
Steven Thompson moved all in for 58,000,000 in the small blind with A?8? and was called by Guang Chen in the big blind holding K?10?.
Steven Thompson: A?8?
Guang Chen: K?10?
Thompson, though at risk, was marginally ahead but fell well behind following the 4?K?Q? flop. The 9? turn left Thompson needing to find an ace on the river to survive and that is exactly what happened after the A? hit the felt to complete the board and send the Costa Rican's rail into a frenzy of celebration.
