Thompson Doubles with the Ladies
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Glenn Thompson open-jammed for 7,800,000 from the hijack and Maher Achour on the button called, taking them to showdown.
Glenn Thompson: Q♥Q♣
Maher Achour: A♠K♦
It was a classic coin flip but Thompson's ladies held up on the 9♠5♥7♣ flop. Achour, still hoping, couldn't find an ace or a king on the 5♦ turn. Thompson was finally able to secure a crucial double-up when the 8♦ river fell.
