In a four-way pot with several thousand in chips already in the middle, all for players checked on the flop of 9♠8♣2♦.
Isaac Thompson then bet 4,000 on the turn and only one opponent called. Thompson then quickly moved all in for around 9,000 on the K♠ river to bring a fold from his opponent.
It was the right move as Thompson, who won his entry with a final table finish in the $200 WPT Passport event, showed Q♦10♥ for rivered Broadway.
