Chris Thompson 2nd Place.
Chris Thompson 2nd Place.

Chris Thompson opened on the button for 125,000 and Kurt Jewell made it 325,000 more to go. Thompson grabbed a handful chips and put in another raise to 550,000 more.

Jewell responded by announcing all in and Thompson sat still for a moment. Tension was high and then Thompson announced call.

Thompson: {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
Jewell: {Q-Spades} {J-Spades}

The flop came {K-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and gave Jewell the lead. The turn produced the {10-Diamonds} and gave Thompson a set. Thompson fist pumped and shouted "Yes!"

But then he realized the card gave Jewell a straight draw. The river came....{9-Hearts} and filled Jewell's straight and handed him the title.
