Thompson Eliminated

Aaron Thompson is our latest bustee. As related by Barny Boatman just after the event, Thompson raised to 300 in early position and got three or four callers to see a {K-?} {J-?} {10-?} flop with two spades on it. Following a brief raising war, he ended up all in against one opponent. Thompson's {5-Spades} {6-Spades} was not in terrible shape against his opponent's {A-Spades} {Q-?}, but a couple of bricks later and he hit the rail.
