John Katkin Eliminated

John Katkin calls the all in of an opponent on a queen high flop with two hearts. Katkin's read was dead on, as his opponent showed a naked flush draw against his pocket jacks.

However, sometimes the best reads can go awry, as his opponent hit his flush.

Left extremely short, Katkin came over the top of a raise on the next hand with {A-?} {9-?} only to run into pocket jacks. Ace-nine never improved and Katkin makes his exit from the tournament.
