Thompson Gets There for a Double

Mike Leah raised to 125k under the gun, and it folded to Bradley Thompson, who had blinded down to less the 200k after his big blind went in. He flatted to see the J♦Q♥8♥ flop.

Thompson checked, Leah bet enough to put him in, and he called it off reluctantly. Thompson was on [invalid notations]. Thompson got it in the gut on the turn of the 10♠5♥ runout. He’s still the short stack at the table.
