Back To the Day Job

Matt Loew, winner of a recent Poker News field-reporter freeroll, has been eliminated. Loew's bad run of luck included two "set over set" hands as well as flush against flush, all of which saw Loew with the inferior holding. With just a few chips left, Loew put the bulk of them in holding top two pair on a {A-?} {Q-?} {J-?} board but lost the hand when his opponent turned a set of tens.
