Thompson Binks the River to Recover Losses
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Gary Thompson had previously lost a big pot to Byungwook Anh, who joined the current chip leaders.
He avoided another major setback in a classic coin flip with Jimmy Johan soon thereafter.
Jimmy Johan: 10♠10♦
Gary Thompson: A♥Q♣
The J♦10♣4♣ flop improved Johan to a set and the 5♠ turn only had him fear one of the remaining four kings on the deck. Sure enough, that's what came on the K♠ river as Johan jumped out of his chair in disgust.
