Picking up the action on the turn, Kathrine Brandt Weir in the small blind was involved in a hand with a player from under the gun. With the board reading Q♥2♦2♣10♠ Brandt Weir moved all in, covering her opponent who had around 100,000 behind. After some consideration, the under the gun player committed his remaining chips.
Under-the-Gun Player: K♣Q♣
Kathrine Brandt Weir: K♥J♠
The at risk player was ahead with his pair but Brandt Weir had an open ended straight draw. The 9♣ hit the felt on the river to improve Brandt Weir to a straight and send the under-the-gun player out of the tournament in gut wrenching fashion.
