Thompson Bombs the River
Level 6
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A completed board of Q♣9♣5♦6♣6♥ was spread across the felt with around 40,000 chips in the middle. Gary Thompson and Sean Ooi were left heads-up in the pot from the blinds and Thomson was first to act, sliding in an overbet of 87,000 and leaving himself with a single 500 chip behind.
Ooi asked for a count before his clock started and then proceeded to use time bank after time bank, for nearly three minutes. Ooi eventually threw his cards in the muck and Thompson was awarded the pot.
