Matson Can't Nguyen

Nancy Matson, who had a crazy roller coaster of a Day 1, veering from chip leader to short stack and back to sort of average, has finally kicked the tournament bucket in the ugliest of ways.

A short raising war between Matson (early position) and Tai Nguyen (button) resulted in Matson moving all in and Nguyen calling. It was looking good for a Matson double up.

Matson: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Nguyen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Board: {6-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} ... {Q-Clubs}

Ouch. Matson is busto, and Nguyen is at 42,000.
