Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Tamon Nakamura
Tamon Nakamura

Tamon Nakamura opened to 1,600 and Gary Thompson called from the big blind.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Nakamura continued for 1,100. Thompson called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Nakamura fired once more for 2,500. Thompson called a second time.

On the {10-Clubs} river, Nakamura fired for 16,000, representing the vast majority of Thompson's stack.

Thompson looked bewildered and even chuckled and threw up his arms as if he had no choice but to call, yet did not expect the results to go his way.

Thompson turned over {j-Spades}{3-Clubs} for two pair, beating Nakamura's triple-barrel with {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
