Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jeffrey Thompson raised to 31,000 from middle position and Joseph Lamberta was the only player to call the bet from the cutoff. The players on the button and in the blinds got out of the way.

The 
turn was checked through and the same happened on the river. Thompson opened up 
and that was enough to take down the pot.
