Brian Nadell Eliminated by Amnon Filippi

Most players would welcome pocket kings with open arms while playing in the Main Event at the World Series of Poker, but Brian Nadell had one of those days in which this hand caused him nothing but trouble.

Not long before his elimination hand (below), Nadell picked up pocket kings in the big blind, only to run into the pocket aces of an opponent in the small blind! That hand left Nadell short-stacked and the following hand finished him off.

Once again, Nadell held pocket kings and went over the top of Amnon Filippi's preflop raise, making it 4,000 to go; Amnon called. The flop came {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Nadell moved all in, but cringed when Amnon called almost immediately and revealed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, for top set.

Nadell was unable to catch a third king and was eliminated from the tournament. The elimination brought Filippi up to 50,000 in chips.
