Thierry van den Berg Goes Out in a Huge Pot

With the board reading {10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Spades}, Thierry van den Berg bet 5,000 and his opponent moved all in for 15,000 more. Van den Berg called for the rest of his chips and saw that his {Q-Spades} {4-Clubs} was ahead of his opponent's {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. But the {10-Spades} on the river counterfeited van den Berg's second pair and instead of being among the chip leaders, van den Berg saw his day come to an end.
