Ogura Catches Thompson Bluffing
Level 24
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Takashi Ogura limped the A♥9♣ and Gary Thompson checked his option out of the big blind with the K♣8♣. Thompson check-called a small bet worth 240,000 on the Q♥4♠3♦ flop, then they checked the 4♥ turn and 2♦ river as Ogura won a minor pot.
The next button was raised by Ogura with the Q♥9♠ and no call followed this time.
Thompson's next button limp with the 10♣5♥ was checked back by Ogura holding the J♠9♦. Ogura checked and subsequently called Thompson's bet of 450,000, as the K♦ followed on the turn. This time, both players checked and the 9♠ appeared on the river.
Ogura checked it over to Thompson once more and the Irishman fired 1,100,000 into 1,700,000. One time bank vanished but Ogura made the call to increase his lead again.
