On a board showing {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

, Katja Thater led out with a 3,500 bet and was called by a single opponent. The {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

fell on the river and Thater bet another 3,500; her opponent called.

"Two pair," she said, as she turned over {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

(she'd been chasing the flush draw, but ended up with two pair). Her opponent showed {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Spades}

for a higher two pair and took down the pot.

The hand left Katja with 18,000 in chips.
