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: KQ
Small Blind: AK
Joe Thiele: Q2

Thiele went in with the worst of it but was able to spike a deuce on the J29 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.
