Maimone Moves Out

Nick "FU_15" Maimone had a great start to his day, but he's out after two back-to-back hands went poorly for him.

On the first, we walked up to see Amnon Filippi move all in for 12,450 on a board of {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}. Maimone made the call for nearly all of his own chips, and he would not like the result. Despite having "turned the nuts" as he said, Filippi won the hand with {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, rivering the flush to knock Maimone down to just 1,700.

On the next hand, Maimone got his money in good with {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} against Josh Tieman's {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs}, and things looked rosy through the {K-Spades} {8-Spades} {7-Clubs} flop. The turn {J-Hearts} was a disaster, though, and the river {J-Diamonds} added a little insult to injury as Maimone headed for the door.
