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.
