Thomson Bluffs, Gets There

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

We heard a commotion at Table 8 and saw Dennis Durante standing up and staring at the {9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} board in disbelief.

"This is some sick shit, man."

Durante told us that Jimmy Thomson had opened to 7,000 from early position and Durante three-bet to 17,500 from the button. Thomson called and then checked the flop. Durante bet 17,500 and Thomson moved in for about 55,000. Durante called and was a huge favorite with the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} against Thomson's {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, but Thomson went runner-runner for a straight to double up to 160,000.

"Some really good players at this place," said Durante, shaking his head. "Really good players."
