Relentless Pressure from Thompkins

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With action folding to the blinds, Eric Thompkins in the small blind raised to 30,000 and Michael Collins in the big defended with a call.

The dealer spread 5AQ. Thompkins continued with 20,000 and Collins came for the ride to the next street.

Persistent, Thompkins fired another 25,000 on the 9 turn. Determined, Collins made the call.

Consistently applying pressure, Thompkins made a 35,000 bet which Collins called, leading them to the showdown.

Thompkins tabled A4, evoking frustration from Collins, who said, "Relentless! Every time I'm in the blind!" He mucked his hand as the dealer pushed the pot towards Thompkins' direction.
