Suzie Matzura Eliminates Thor Hansen

[user37786]

Today's event is filled with some of the biggest names in the poker, but Suzie Matzura is one you might not know...yet. Playing in her first World Series of Poker event Matzura is sitting right near the top of the leaderboard, thanks in part to a big hand she just won that eliminated Thor Hansen.

Hansen was forced to commit the last of his chips before the flop, and four players in total saw the dealer spread the {10-Hearts}

. Matzura called another player's bet, but when the {8-Hearts}

hit on the turn she came out raising. She was called, and she was also called when the {Q-Hearts}

fell on the river. Matuzra's Ace-high flush held on against her opponent's flopped set of Kings, and that pot ended Hansen's day and pushed Matzura's stack up to 70,000.
