Anthony Thompson

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Cy Church raised to 70,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ha Nguyen from the button, along with Dave Sanderson from the big blind.

The flop was checked to Church who continued for 130,000. Action was on Nguyen who took some time in the tank before pulling the trigger for roughly 1,000,000 and both opponents quickly mucked their hands.
