Thompson Scores a Knockout
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The seats of Joseph Magnotti and Kyunghun Kim over on table six are empty and both recently departed. Joseph Reyes had increased his stack and Gary Thompson then did the same by knocking out Kim.
A battle of the blinds led to the A♠8♠2♦9♣ turn that got checked through. Kim bet the 3♣ river for 3,700 and instantly called all-in when Thompson splashed in his T-5,000 chips for a big raise. Thompson flipped over the 3♥3♦ for a rivered set and Kim sighed, then sent his cards straight into the muck.
