Two Pair? Too Bad

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Thomas Cipriano raised to 1,500 under the gun, which Luis Ramos and Gareth Thompson called from the button and small blind.

The action checked to Cipriano on a 6A9 flop, which saw Ramos fold, but Thompson check-raised to 10,000, which Cipriano called.

Thompson continued with a bet of 17,000 on the Q turn, and this time it was Cipriano who raised, making it 40,000. Thompson then moved all in for 50,400, and Cipriano called.

Gareth Thompson: A6 All in
Thomas Cipriano: AQ

Thompson had flopped two pair, but had been run down on the turn, as Cipriano made a better two pair.

The 4 made no change to the standings, and Thompson's Main Event was over.
