Thompson Picks Off Ogura's Bluff
Level 21
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Takashi Ogura opened to 350,000 out of the small blind with the rather creative 5?3? and Gary Thompson came along from the big blind with the Q?3?. Neither player invested any chips on the Q?9?7? flop before Ogura then bet the 2? turn for 430,000, picking up a call from Thompson.
The 10? river completed the board and Ogura fired a final bet worth 800,000. Thompson called with a dry smile on the face and took over the lead from his opponent.
