Maimone's Run Ends Early

Nick "FU_15" Maimone started off the day climbing fast. After hitting a few speed bumps, Maimone was last seen talking to Va Shon Watkins on his way out the door. According to Maimone, he lost a big pot with {K-?} {Q-?} against a player holding {A-?} {9-?} after the board read {9-?} {9-?} {5-?} {K-?} {Q-?}. "It was a nine or nothing hand." said Maimone. "He had the nine and that crippled me."

Maimone went on to say that he got it in with {A-?} {4-?} against two sevens and the sevens held to send him to the rail. "I started off so well it kinda sucks." commented Maimone before leaving the tournament area.
