Neilson's Hopes Dashed

Daniel Neilson's day is done
Daniel Neilson's day is done
Daniel Neilson can do some sight-seeing around Auckland after being eliminated from the tournament.

A short-stacked Neilson shoved all in for about 9,000 chips with {K-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and an opponent who was even shorter called with {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Things looked good for Neilson through the {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop and {6-Diamonds} turn. Only for the {8-Diamonds} to spike the river.

That pot left Neilson down to 3,000 chips and a few hands later he pushed with {K-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, an opponent went into the tank, before making a pained call with {A-Spades}{j-Hearts}. The board ran out {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} to send the Sydneysider to the rail.
