Those Don't Sound Like Nice Words

Katja Thater got her opponent to commit all of his chips on a board of {8-Spades} {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} with a draw, {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts}. Thater was in the lead with {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, leaving her opponent looking for one of the other eight hearts or the other two tens. The {10-Clubs} hit the river, giving Thater a set of tens that she desperately didn't want as it also made a straight for her opponent.

After the hand, which lowered Thater's stack to 10,000 chips, Thater stood up from the table and let loose a stream of angry-sounding German.
