Thiel Downs Another One

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Martin Thiel raised to 14,000 from early position and Rifat Gegic moved all-in for 102,000 in the hijack. Thiel thought for a moment and eventually made the call.

Thiel: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Gegic: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Gegic was dominated and at risk for his tournament life. The flop came {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Gegic flopped a flush draw to go with his one live card. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river landed the {5-Clubs}. Gegic was unable to hit any of his outs and was eliminated in 13th place.
