No Joy

Nicholas Joy
Nicholas Joy
Paul Wasicka might have felt confident when he check-raised Nicholas Joy all in on a flop of {Q-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. Wasicka, who had the chip lead, turned over top pair with {Q-?} {J-Hearts} but he was drawing slim at a jack against Joy's {Q-?} {9-?}. Wasicka did hit a jack on the turn, to Joy's utter disbelief. Joy was not able to return the favor with a nine on the river. He has therefore been eliminated from the tournament and Wasicka is on to the next round.
