Gary Thompson Eliminated in 2nd Place (PHP4,270,000/$77,022)
Level 24
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Down to around 4,800,000 on the button, Gary Thompson raised to 600,000 and called all-in when Takashi Ogura pushed all-in.
Gary Thompson: 9?9?
Takashi Ogura: A?4?
The 10?5?3? flop gave Ogura a gutshot on top of his overcard and back door clubs as well. One of those equity boosting cards came with the 10? turn and the 6? river indeed completed the flush for the Japanese. From being down to half a big blind with six players remaining, Ogura emerged as the champion while Thompson has to settle for second place.
