Kings Prove Too Much for Wilson

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

A woman under the gun raised to 1,600 and action folded around to a short-stacked Pam Wilson on the button. She thought for a moment before sliding in her entire stack of 3,175. The blind got out of the way and the UTG player made the call.

UTG: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Wilson: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Wilson had been patient waiting for a hand, but unfortunately the one time she did, she ran into the second-best hand in poker. The {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop gave some runner-runner straight options to Wilson, but the {9-Hearts} turn quickly dashed them. In order to stay alive, Wilson needed one of the red fives on the river. The dealer burned and put out the {4-Hearts}. It was close, but just one pip shy. Wilson has been eliminated from the tournament.
