Top Pair No Good for Lichtenberger

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop with Andrew Lichtenberger all in and Paul Roy putting him at risk, with the board showing Q♦2♣4♠.

Andrew Lichtenberger: Q♠7♣ All in
Paul Roy: K♥Q♥

Both players flopped top pair, but Roy had Lichtenberger dominated. The board ran out 6♠4♥ and the king-queen of Roy was best, giving him the pot and knocking out Lichtenberger.
