You Nguyen Some, You Lose Some

Scotty Nguyen was getting in a battle on a {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop. His opponent had bet 6,000 and Nguyen had raised to 15,000 - said foe then set Nguyen all in and was duly called.

The TV cameras rushed over as Nguyen counted out every bit of his 42,600 for all to see and, with trembling hands, his opponent put out the call.

Nguyen: {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

Nguyen sighed, drawing only to running nines, he began to shake hands with everyone at the table and began to walk away, looking back only briefly to see if the turn might possibly provide some form of redemption. Instead it was the {4-Hearts} and the former Main Event champion was eliminated after the {3-Hearts} came on the river.
