Quinn Crippled then Eliminated
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
After losing a big pot with his top pair being trumped by Matthew Lawrence's runner-runner straight, Stanley Quinn was left with a short stack. Soon after, action folded to Quinn on the button and he moved all in only to be snap-called by Huy Nguyen in the big blind.
Quinn:
Nguyen:
Not surprisingly, it was another race situation. The flop kept Quin in the lead but provided Nguyen with a gut-shot straight draw. Wouldn't you know it, that straight was filled when the spiked on the turn. Quinn needed a nine or king on the river to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as the appeared on the river. Nguyen chipped up to 75,000 while Quinn was eliminated in 13th place.
