Nathan Mullen Eliminated

Allen Carter opened for 13,500, Nathan Mullen moved all in for 110,000 from late position and Carter made the call. It was a classic race situation with the players holding:

Mullen {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

Carter {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

The flop was {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}, giving the lead to Mullen, and the {10-Hearts} on the turn gave him a flush draw to boot. However, the {Q-Hearts} spiked on the river, making Carter queens full and eliminating Mullen in a rather cruel fashion.
