Thompson Can't Buy a Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
After just losing a small pot to Quan Zhou moments earlier, Gary Thompson was back on the saddle with a raise to 3,500 in the cutoff. Ivan Zhang defended from the big blind and the flop of K♠4♣2♣ hit the felt.
Zhang check-called a bet of 3,000 from Thompson and the 3♠ landed on the turn. Zhang checked again and Thompson announced a bet of 12,000. Zhang check-raised to 35,000 and Thompson instantly folded, shaking his head.
"Don't bluff me!" Zhang shouted.
"I wasn't bluffing," Thompson acknowledged.
"Sounds like a bluff to me," Ami Barer chimed in.
