Jeff Thompson Goes Runner-Runner, Knocks Out a Player

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

The player under the gun raised, Jeff Thompson called in the small blind, and the big blind came along.

On the {J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Thompson checked, the big blind bet, the next player raised, and Thompson made it three bets. The big blind went all in for less, and the next player called.

It was heads up on the side, and the {4-Clubs} came on the turn. They both checked and the river was the {5-Spades}. Thompson quickly bet and his opponent quickly sent his cards to the muck.

Thompson showed {A-Spades}{3-Spades} for the wheel on the river, and the all-in player's {Q-Diamonds}{J-} also went to the muck before he made his exit.

That pot put Thompson right around 100,000, up there near the chip lead.
