Thompson Bluffs Into Aces

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} Robert Thompson led out for 29,000. Karl Johansson made the call. The turn brought the {K-Spades} and Thompson fired out once more. This time the magic number was 42,000. Johansson made the call once again and we were off to see a river.

Fifth street came {2-Hearts} and Thompson announced he was all in. Johansson snap called, tabling {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Thompson showed his bluff that didn't seem to work, tabling {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Johansson is now sitting pretty with around 485,000 in chips.
