Matt Kay Eliminated

The short stacks continue to make moves here on Day 2 of the High Rollers Event. Matt Kay opened from the button for 2,500. Xuan Nguyen, sitting in the small blind, popped Kay to 8,500. When action folded back to Kay, he moved all in and Nguyen, just barely covering Kay, called.

Kay: {A-?} {9-?}
Nguyen: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}

It must be somewhat disappointing to survive through almost seven levels just to have all your chips in the middle on a flip. It's probably more disappointing when your opponent flops a set, {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {3-Spades}, and you can't come up with the necessary running cards to overtake him when the turn and river come {2-Spades} {5-Clubs}.

Kay was eliminated, and Nguyen has moved up to 50,000.
