No Cinderella Story for Thompson
Corey Thompson told PokerNews that he was down to his last big blind before the break but had managed to find a triple up when play resumed.
He was soon all in again for his last 1,800 from early position. An opponent three-bet before folding to another player's four-bet. The cards then went on their back.
Corey Thompson: J♠9♦
Opponent: A♠K♦
Thompson made two pair on the J♠9♠2♦ flop to his delight.
"They don't call me Corey the Cinderella for nothing," joked Thompson to the table and he scooped in another triple up after the 4♣2♣ turn and river.
On the following hand, Thompson opened to 1,000 and was called by the big blind. On the 10♦9♦4♣ flop, the big blind check-called Thompson's jam for around 5,000.
Corey Thompson: Q♦J♠
Big Blind: 4x2x
Thompson had two overcards and an open-ended straight draw but was behind the big blind's pair. The 9♠ turn brought in some counterfeit outs but Thompson's hopes of a Cinderella story quickly vanished as the board completed with the A♣.
