Thiele Underdog in Unlikely Double Elimination
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
In a hand relayed to PokerNews by Joe Thiele and a few others at the table, Thiele raised to 2,000 from middle position and was three-bet by a player on the button, with the player in the small blind moving all-in and both Thiele and the player on the button making the call.
Button: K♦Q♦
Small Blind: A♠K♠
Joe Thiele: Q♠2♣
Thiele went in with the worst of it but was able to spike a deuce on the J♥2♦9♣ flop.
However, Thiele was not out of the woods yet, as any card ten or higher would be bad news.
But the turn 4♥ kept Thiele in the lead and the 2♥ on the river secured the double elimination.
