Thumm Triumphs: Hansen Exits Tournament
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Gus Hansen busted just before the break, and a player provided PokerNews with a recap of the hand:
Everybody folded to Hansen in the small blind, who raised to 4,000. Niclas Thumm called from the big blind.
Both players checked through the 7xQxJx flop.
The 3♠ turn prompted Hansen to bet 4,000 and Thumm raised to 18,000. Hansen went all in and Thumm called.
Gus Hansen: KxQx
Niclas Thumm: Qx3x
With top pair, better kicker, Hansen was ahead until the turn. With two pair, queens and treys, Thumm had taken the lead, and the 9♣ on the river didn't change anything. Thumm, a finalist at the 2023 PSPC Bahamas, eliminated Hansen from the tournament.
