Neb Raises West on the River; Thompson Takes the Rest
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Jesse West bet 1,100 from under the gun on a flop of A♠7♦9♥ and Kevin Neb called in early position, as did Dan Thompson in the big blind.
West bet another 3,000 on the Q♥ turn and Neb called, while Thompson got out of the way. The river was the 3♥ and West bet 4,500. Neb came back with a raise to 10,000, and West folded.
West was left with around 7,500 after that hand and moved all in from the big blind the next hand. Thompson called in the small blind.
Jesse West: A♣Q♦ 
Dan Thompson: K♦3♦
Thompson took the lead on the J♠3♥2♥ flop with a pair of threes, and West couldn't catch up on the 7♦ turn or 10♠ river as he became the first elimination of the day.
