Thompson Pressures Yu
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Lei Yu opened to 8,000 from under the gun and Gary Thompson called from the big blind. The flop fell Q♠4♠3♥ and Thompson checked to Yu who bet 6,000. Thompson check-raised to 25,000 and Yu called.
The 6♣ landed on the turn and Thompson put together a bet of 37,000. Yu still called and the 10♥ completed the board. Thompson reached for a bet of 129,000, leaving just a few chips behind. Yu used one of his time banks but then eventually gave in to the pressure by folding.
