Blackburn Flops a Set, Still Busts

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nick Blackburn moved all in pre-flop and was called by Charbel Kanterjian.

Nick Blackburn: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Charbel Kanterjian: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

"How about a nine," Blackburn said before the flop was revealed. He got his wish as the dealer turned over the {9-Diamonds}, but it was followed by the {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts} to give Kanterjian a higher set.

Blackburn didn't hit the one-outer on the {3-Hearts}{2-Spades} turn and river, and stopped to take a picture of the board before making his exit from the tournament.
