Thompson Spikes River To Survive
Level 47
: 5,000,000/10,000,000, 10,000,000 ante
Steven Thompson moved all in for 58,000,000 in the small blind with A♠8♣ and was called by Guang Chen in the big blind holding K♠10♣.
Steven Thompson: A♠8♣
Guang Chen: K♠10♣
Thompson, though at risk, was marginally ahead but fell well behind following the 4♠K♦Q♥ flop. The 9♥ turn left Thompson needing to find an ace on the river to survive and that is exactly what happened after the A♦ hit the felt to complete the board and send the Costa Rican's rail into a frenzy of celebration.
