Maybe He Should Have Taken the Blue Pill ...

Shawn Marion - dunked!
Shawn Marion - dunked!

Four-time NBA All-Star and Dallas Mavericks phenom Shawn "The Matrix" Marion has just been busted from WSOP Event #56 at the hands of Khiem Nguyen.

As Nguyen recalled to us, Marion shoved the last of his money into the middle with {A-}{4-} (suited), but Nguyen woke up with {k-}{k-}. The board improved neither hand and Marion's now on the bench for the remainder of this three-day long game.
