Thompson Busts Xanthopoulos; Plays Three Times Average

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a completed board of {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and a pot of 150,000 to contend for, cutoff Gary Thompson had put button Pavlos Xanthopoulos all-in for slightly more than the pot.

Xanthopoulos was deep in the tank for his 165,000 stack but ultimately made the call.

Pavlos Xanthopoulos: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Gary Thompson: {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Xanthopoulos flopped the world with trip nines, but Thompson crushed his dreams by hitting a straight on the river.

Thompson stacked the big pot on top of his already impressive stack while Xanthopoulos was escorted to the payout area. Xanthopoulos is one of the 35 players we have already lost in the traditional post-bubble madhouse.
