Gary Thompson raised from under the gun and was called by Manoj Pentakota as well as Harry Halim in the big blind. On the 8 ♦️ 6 ♠️ 3 ♠️ flop, Halim led for 40,000 and Thompson raised to 110,000, which forced out Pentakota.

Halim took a time bank to shove and Thompson snap-called for 259,000.

Gary Thompson: A ♠️ A ♣️

The K ♣️ turn and K ♥️ river awarded the double to Thompson.

The two active players checked the A ♣️ 10 ♣️ 2 ♥️ flop, Zhu bet the J ♣️ turn for 30,000 and the Q ♥️ river for 65,000. Erquiaga called and Zhu tabled 10 ♦️ 7 ♣️ for one pair, Erquiaga had the A ♠️ K ♣️ for broadway and Halim briefly showed his cards before they were mucked.
