Glen Thompson (Framingham, MA)

After getting brutally unlucky to not increase his chip stack in the quad run out hand against Peter Tripp, Robert Campion thought that the dealer was teasing him as the next time he moved all-in Tripp called and the two would again chop the pot, with each player holding pocket sixes.

The third time would be the charm for Campion though, as he'd move all-in overtop of the pre-flop shove from Glen Thompson and finally see a pot go his way, crippling Thompson in the process.

It wasn't easy though, as Thompson held [5s][5h] and Campion held [Js][Jc].

The dealer kind of did tease Campion, putting out a [6c][10h][6s] flop that had everyone rubbing their eyes to double check if Thompson had hit his set.

He didn't and Campion would clench his fists as the turn and river bricked out and he'd score a massive double up to move himself near the chip average.

Thompson would be eliminated in one of the very next hands after he was left with just a handful of big blinds, bowing out in 5th place, earning $7,400 for his efforts, slightly the biggest cash of his career.

We are now four handed with the updated chip counts of the remaining players looking like this:

1. Chris Leong - 1,600,000
2. Robert Campion - 1,200,000
3. Joe Kosko - 900,000
4. Peter Tripp - 4,500,000
