First Blood to Thompson
Chris Thompson was first to act and raised to 175,000, which Kurt Jewell called. When the flop fell 
, Jewell check-called a bet of 300,000, and the 
was put out on the turn. Again Jewell check-called a bet, this time 500,000, before the 
was revealed on the river.
Jewell checked for a third time, and Thompson fired out a stack of baby blues, constituting a bet of 1 million. Jewell took about ten seconds before making the call, only to muck when Thompson rolled over
