Thater Eliminated

With her chip stack dwindling, Katja Thater completed third street with the {J-Hearts} as her door card. She was called by a {Q-Diamonds} and by Craig Thomson, who had brought it in with the {2-Diamonds}. On fourth street, Thater caught the {Q-Spades}, her first opponent caught the {8-Clubs}, and Thomson paired deuces. The bring-in checked to Thater, who bet her last 400.

One opponent folded, but Thomson, with paired deuces, called the all-in for only 400 with no other player left to act. They opened their hands:

Thater: {J-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Thomson: {K-Spades} {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades}

Thater caught running fours on fifth and sixth streets to make two pair. Thomson, who had caught a king on fifth street to make deuces full of kings, remarked, "You could still make a full house." Thater squeezed her river and saw the {J-Spades} for a full house, jacks full of fours. Thomson then squeezed his own river, and flipped over the {K-Hearts} for a bigger full house, kings full of deuces.
