Gary Thompson Eliminated in 14th Place ($44,000)
Level 24
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Haitao Lei opened to 275,000 in the cutoff and Gary Thompson shoved his short stack of 1,100,000 into the middle on the button. The blinds folded and Lei snap-called to put Thompson at risk.
Gary Thompson: K♦Q♥
Haitao Lei: A♣A♦
The flop came J♠J♣3♠ which left Thompson drawing slim. The K♥ on the turn gave him some hope but the 3♦ on the river sent Thompson home in 14th place.
