Alain Raad raised from early position, and Jason Thompson went all-in for 32,500 from the big blind. Raad called to put Thompson at risk.
Jason Thompson: 2♦2♣
Alain Raad: A♦Q♥
Thompson was slightly ahead as they went to a runout, and the J♣8♥9♥ flop kept Thompson ahead.
The 7♦ turn presented a straight draw on the board, but Thompson evaded danger and the chop when the 4♣ river peeled to give Thompson the double with his pair of deuces.
