Tony G Has Been Eliminated

[user22113]

A few hands earlier, Tony G took his A-K against the Q-Q of his opponent. Tony paired his King on the flop, but his opponent flopped 3 Queens and left him crippled with just 1,500. Then, he moved in preflop and got two callers who checked it down on the side. The board read A-T-Q-A-K and a player showed J-J for the straight. Tony mucked and headed for the rail.
