Another Massive Cooler Results In No Eliminations
Level 18
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Martin Nielsen opened to 60,000 in early position and Patrik Demus just flat called in the cutoff. Gary Thompson reraised to 270,000 on the button and Nielsen shipped all in for 420,000. Demus asked for a count and then also shipped all in for 1,755,000. Thompson quickly called having both of his opponents covered.
Martin Nielsen: 10♣10♦
Patrik Demus: A♠A♣
Gary Thompson: K♠K♥
The flop came Q♠5♥3♥ and Demus was still well out front with his pocket aces. The 8♣ on the turn changed nothing but the 10♠ gave Nielsen the best hand on the river. Nielsen managed to triple up while Demus raked in the large side pot, sending Thompson below average stack.
