Team PokerStars Pro Lee Nelson has just been eliminated from the main event by Michael Shinzaki.

Nelson opened the pot with a raise to 2,700 and when the action reached Shinzaki, he moved all in, putting Nelson to a decision for all of his chips. Nelson made the call holding {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

and found himself in bad shape against Shinzaki's pocket nines.

The ensuing board ran out {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

and Shinzaki ended up taking down the pot on the strength of his nine-kicker.

After the hand, Shinzaki stacked up 160,000 in chips.
