Harraghy Eliminated

Paul "Nine-Duey" Harraghy made a standard preflop raise and got one caller before going heads up to a flop of jack-9-9.

Harraghy pushed the rest of his stack in the middle and got called again before he turned up ace-jack only to find his opponent held kings. A king on the turn only made things worse for Harraghy who said "I should have shoved earlier with nine-deuce. I would have have hit trip 9s."
