Thater Eliminated

[user75032]

With her chip stack dwindling, Katja Thater completed third street with the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

as her door card. She was called by a {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

and by Craig Thomson, who had brought it in with the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

. On fourth street, Thater caught the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

, her first opponent caught the {8-Clubs}

{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}

{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}

{J-Spades}

for a full house, jacks full of fours. Thomson then squeezed his own river, and flipped over the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

for a bigger full house, kings full of deuces.
