Melanie Hennigan
Melanie Hennigan

Derrick Thomas bet 2,500 from the big blind on a flop of Q♣2♦8♦ and Christopher Caruso called in middle position. Melanie Hennigan then raised to 7,500 in the small blind and Thomas moved all in. Caruso folded, while Hennigan called for her last 30,000.

Melanie Hennigan: 8♥2♥ All in
Derrick Thomas: Q♠2♠

Both players had flopped two pair, but Thomas was ahead with queens and deuces. The rest of the board ran out J♥K♥, and Hennigan was sent to the rail.
