Lee Nelson Eliminated

Lee Nelson filling the media in on his elimination
After promising he'd be tough to beat in the pre-tournament address, Lee Nelson has taken a terribly tough beat in the first minutes of play.

With some players not even in their seats yet, Nelson was out of his heading for the rail. We scrambled over to find out that he'd ran a sevens full into the quad fours of Sherif Badran.

With the board reading {Q-?}{4-?}{5-?}{7-?}{4-?} all the money went in on the river. It has to be disappointing for Nelson to go out of his home tournament so early in such a cooler situation.
