Thiriart Flipped Out By Vazic

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Stojan Vazic opened to 8,000 and then called the shove of Arthur Thiriart, who had around 65,000 in his stack.

Arthur Thiriart: AK All in
Stojan Vazic: QQ

Thiriart was flipping for his tournament life and didn't improve on the 10J2 flop, but did pick up a gutshot. That gutshot was no longer good when the 10 dropped on the river as a queen would give Vazic a full house. Only an ace or a king on the river could prevent Thiriart from being eliminated, but the 6 wasn't what he was after, and he hit the rail.
