Gary Thompson Eliminated in 2nd Place (PHP4,270,000/$77,022)
Level 24
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Down to around 4,800,000 on the button, Gary Thompson raised to 600,000 and called all-in when Takashi Ogura pushed all-in.
Gary Thompson: 9♠9♣
Takashi Ogura: A♣4♣
The 10♦5♣3♥ flop gave Ogura a gutshot on top of his overcard and back door clubs as well. One of those equity boosting cards came with the 10♣ turn and the 6♣ river indeed completed the flush for the Japanese. From being down to half a big blind with six players remaining, Ogura emerged as the champion while Thompson has to settle for second place.
