Brandt Weir Makes a Straight
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
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.
