Thaker Doubles Through Mystery Opponent

Haresh Thaker had moved all in on a :::Jc :::3c :::Kh flop when I arrived tableside; his opponent, nameless for reasons that will soon become obvious, took his time before making the call.

Thaker: :::Kc :::Jd for two pair
Nameless Gent: :::Ks :::Th for just the pair of kings

Turn and river respectively: :::6d and :::6c

Thaker enjoyed a full double up to over 80k. His opponent was left with less than 15k, basically right at the end of the day. Anyone who has ever live-blogged a poker tournament will understand why it is Not A Nice Thing to ask a player their name right when they’ve been crippled. Apologies, readers, and commiserations, Nameless Crippled Gent.
