Thompson Out-Kicks Chen
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Gary Thompson raised to 4,000 on the button and Dong Chen reraised to 16,000 out of the small blind. Thompson called and they saw a flop of J♦4♣2♣.
Both players checked through to the 4♥ on the turn and the 5♥ on the river. Chen flicked in a bet of 5,000 on the river and Thompson looked him up. Chen tabled A♥10♦ but Thompson held A♣Q♦ for a better ace-high to claim the pot.
