James McBeth Two-Outered, Eliminated

Minni Ridakorpi got all her chips in the middle preflop vs. James McBeth, her {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} trailing McBeth's {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}. The flop was {10-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts}, McBeth maintaining his lead and picking up the nut flush draw. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and only two cards in the deck could save Ridakorpi's tournament life. The {9-Clubs} fell on the river, eliminating McBeth.

Ridakorpi was so distressed at the suckout that McBeth ended up consoling her with a hug at the end of the hand, assuring her that he could live with the beat.

Ridakorpi is up to 43,000.
