The Turtle Nevermore

The Turtle = Busto
The Turtle = Busto
David "The Turtle" Saab just busted out. He was crippled when his Jacks ran into Kings. He shoved all in on the next hand with A-9 and lost when an opponent called with pocket Jacks. His hand could not improve and he headed to the rail.

Sam Korman Eliminated

Sam Korman and Billy Sukkar got their chips all in on a flop of Q-T-6, Sukkar well in the lead with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} to Korman's {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for Korman, a jack spiked on the turn and Korman couldn't catch a miracle ace on the river. This hand left Korman in bad shape on around 1,500 chips with Sukkar up to over 4,000.

No Final Table for Nelson

Lee "Final Table" Nelson
Lee "Final Table" Nelson
The UTG player limped in, the small blind completed, Lee "Final Table" Nelson moved all in for his remaining 1,500 in chips, and the UTG player called. Nelson turned over {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}, but his opponent had him dominated with {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. A jack hit the flop, Nelson couldn't hit his miracle running cards to improve, and he made an early exit.
