Thompson Rivers Straight to Stick Around

Nick Vazquez

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Steven Thompson moved all in from early position, and was called by Said Elharrak in the small blind.

Steven Thompson: 6♥6♣ All in
Said Elharrak: Q♥Q♦

Thompson was nearly out the door, but the 9♥8♦5♠10♦7♠ board gave him a straight, and kept him in the tournament.

"Now you can't watch the NBA Finals", a tablemate said.

"I don't care about the Finals now", Thompson said back with an excited tone.
