Nielsen Puts a Dent in Thompson's Stack
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Gary Thompson quickly climbed the leaderboard after the dinner break and was sitting on a stack of nearly 3,000,000 chips. After Martin Nielsen raised to 50,000 in middle position, Thompson defended from the big blind.
The flop fell A♣J♠J♦ and Thompson check-called a bet of 25,000 from Nielsen. The turn was the 3♠ and both players checked to the K♥ on the river. Thompson checked once more and Nielsen put together a bet of 115,000. Thompson quickly called and Nielsen showed A♥K♣ for a winner.
