Nam Le No More

We just saw Nam Le hit the rail in an ugly fashion.

Preflop, the player under the gun made it 1,600. Under the gun + 1, Nam Le made it 10,000, leaving himself with only 2,500 behind. action folded to the player on the button who thought briefly before putting in a call. The player under the gun folded and it was off to the flop.

The board fell down {7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Le immediately shoved for his last 2,500.

His opponent made the quick call and said, "I have kings," as he showed the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Le was in trouble with his {A-Spades}{J-Spades} and would need to hit an ace to catch up, but it didn't come on the {q-Hearts} turn, or the {8-Clubs} river.

Le shipped his chips over to his opponent and made his way towards the door.
