German Pro Railed

Michael Keiner
Michael Keiner
Michael Keiner, a 2007 WSOP bracelet winner, has just been eliminated from the tournament by Anders Wijk. Keiner, short-stacked, shoved pre-flop holding {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and was given action from Wijk who made the call with {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Keiner's king-queen high led through the turn as the board filled out {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}, but the {8-Spades} on the river gave Wijk all the help he needed to take down the pot and send Keiner home near the end of Round 5.
