Truong's Nines Can't Improve

Patrick Truong kicked off the action in middle position with a raise to 6,000. Michael Wasserman in the hijack three-bet to 15,000. With the action back to Truong, he went all in for more than 40,000, prompting a snap-call of Wassermann.

Patrick Truong: 9♦9♠ All in
Michael Wasserman: Q♣Q♥

Truong needed some help from the board, but the 3♦Q♠K♣ didn't help much other than to improve Wassermann's hand. The 7♠ turn and the K♣ river didn't change the outcome, and Truong was eliminated from the tournament.
