Neilson Rides the Roller Coaster to the Rail
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Daniel Neilson was standing up and leaving his seat, with the rest of his chips heading over to Ricardo Capela.
Neilson was under the gun and had all of his stack of around 25,000 in preflop against Capela, who was in the cutoff.
Daniel Neilson: Q♠Q♥ 
Ricardo Capela: K♠K♦
It wasn't the best of situations for Neilson, and nothing changed on the J♥10♣3♠ flop. However, things did turn in his favor when the Q♣ improved him to a set with one card to come.
Capela did pick up an open-ended straight draw to go along with his set outs, and that draw came in when the 9♠ landed on the river, which meant Neilson was eliminated and won't be returning as his two bullets have been used up.
