Thomson Crippled, Doubles Back

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

Gene Amplement just crippled Jimmy Thomson in a huge hand after flopping quads.

Amplement flatted a 70,000-chip bet from Thomson on a {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop. Then they both checked the {q-Spades} turn. But when the {2-Diamonds} river came down and Amplement bet 215,000, Thomson went deep into the tank.

Eventually he called, but mucked when Amplement showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for quads.

The next hand Thomson doubled back to contention with sixes against {k-}{q-}.
