Players were surrounding the table and when we got there the board was already complete with it showing {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Chris Thompson was all in for 54,125 with close to 30,000 already in the pot. His lone opponent had him slightly covered and was contemplating whether or not to put in the majority of his stack in to make the call.

Finally he announced a call and Thompson quickly turned over the nuts with his {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. "You have to be kidding me," his opponent said as he flung his cards into the muck.

Already one of the chip leaders prior to the start of the hand, Thompson now has moved clearly into the lead with 140,000 in chips.
