Namhyung check-raised all-in the 22,000 bet of Thompson, shoving his last 105,800 . Thmompson snap called.

Gary Thompson: Q♥ Q♦

Kim Namhyung: 5♠ 6♣

Thompson flopped a set, but Namhyung caught a straight on the turn. Thompson was hoping the board would pair or a queen would bring quads, but the river 9♠ just gave Namhyung a better straight. Thompson gets crippled while Namhyung doubles up.
