David Champion Knocks Out Defending Champion

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Corey Thompson — winner of this same event a year ago — just walked away from his table after being eliminated, so we asked his former tablemates what had happened.

According to them, he went all in for about 4,000 but David Champion had flopped a royal flush with ace-king suited, knocking Thompson out of the tournament. The cards of Thompson weren't shown, but apparently he had said he another ace-king and got up and walked off.
