Ness Hits the Rail

With the board reading {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, action checked over to hijack who bet 16,000. Jason Vanstrom then went all in from the small blind for a total of 336,000 and Stephen Ness followed suit from under-the-gun putting his last 274,000 in the pot as well. The hijack got out of the way and the hands were revealed.

Ness: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Vanstrom: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Vanstrom's set of deuces was leading Ness' pair of kings. The turn only added insult to injury when it brought the {2-Clubs} giving Vanstrom quads. Just to rub more salt in Ness' wound, the river brought the {k-Clubs} giving him a full house that was still second best. Ness was eliminated while Vanstrom chipped up to 650,000.
