Nicolas Atlan Eliminates Thor Hansen

Thor Hansen
Thor Hansen
Atlan made it 45,000 to go before the flop from middle position and Hansen moved all in for his last 245,000. Atlan made the call and had Thor drawing slim when he revealed pocket aces; Hansen showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The situation got worse for Hansen on the flop, as the case ace gave Nicolas top set. Hansen's only hope for survival was the possibility of a runner-runner straight, which failed to materialize as the turn and river brought the {8-Clubs} and {5-Diamonds}.

Atlan's chip count after the hand stood right around 1,400,000.
