Katja Thater Eliminated

Katja Thater has just been knocked out of play shortly before the last level of Day 1.

We picked up the hand on the flop, with the board reading {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

. Thater bet out 2,000 and her opponent called.

The turn was the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

. Thater fired again with 4,800, and was called yet again.

The river was the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

, and Thater moved all in, only to be called down once more.

Thater turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

, but her opponent had made two pair with his {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

.

As she stood to exit, the winning player seemed halfway apologetic: "I didn't have a great hand, but I was gambling."
