Helena Wong Runs into Major Trouble

{A-Clubs} {10-Spades} looked like a good-enough hand for Helena Wong. She pushed in her stack of 5,575 chips from early position. The first piece of bad news for Wong was that a player a few seats behind her jumped at the chance to put his whole stack of 8.700 into the pot. The second piece of bad news was that a second player then moved all in over the top of that raise. The third piece of bad news came when the hands were opened:

Wong: {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Player A: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Player B: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

Wong actually improved on the flop as it came {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} to give her a gutshot straight draw. It never hit. The turn fell {2-Spades} and the river came {j-Spades}. Player B's queens held up. As a result, Wong has exited the tournament area.
