Chao Takes a Chunk from Thompson
Level 4
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading Q♦J♠5♠5♣, Gary Thompson made a bet of 15,000 into a pot of around 40,000. Charles Chao raised to 32,000 on the button and Thompson called.
The J♣ double-paired the board on the river and Thompson checked. Chao splashed in a bet of 100,000 and Thompson burned through multiple time banks before making the call. Chao flipped over K♣J♦ for a full house and Thompson mucked his cards.
