Thornton Last to Go in Day 1a
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Brett Apter raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, and John Thornton called in the big blind.
Thornton checked the 
flop to Apter, who bet 12,500. Thornton check-raised to 25,000 and Apter called.
Thornton jammed for 50,000 on the 
turn, and Apter called.
John Thornton: 
Brett Apter: 
Thornton pinned his tournament life to an open-ended straight draw, but he would be left wanting on the 
river to leave him as the last player to fall before bagging and tagging for the evening.
