Thompson First Casualty of Day 2
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Renji Mao limped in from the small blind with J♣10♥ and Gary Thompson checked his option in the big blind with K♦2♦. The flop came J♦6♦5♥ and Mao led out with a bet of 10,000. Thompson raised to 26,000 and Mao ripped all in as the big stack. Thompson called off his stack of 142,000 and the cards were tabled.
The turn brought the A♣ and Thompson was down to kings or diamonds in order to stay alive. The river was the A♠ and Thompson bricked out, forcing him to the rail early on Day 2.
