Celina Lin Eliminated

Celina Lin and an opponent got it all in on a flop of {6-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. Lin held {K-?} {K-?} and was dismayed to see her opponent roll over {2-?} {6-?} for trips. The turn and river blanked out and Lin was left with only 2,000 in chips.

On the next hand she moved in preflop with {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} and was called by {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. The flop was {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {3-Spades}, giving her the lead. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, but the {Q-Diamonds} fell cruelly on the river, ending Lin's tournament just short of the money.
