Nughes' Jacks Eliminated by Spadavecchia's Queens

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

John Spadavecchia put in a standard raise under the gun only to have Davide Nughes move all in for 113,000 more from the cutoff. The blinds got out of the way and Spadavecchia made the call.

Nughes: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Spadavecchia: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Nughes was way behind and couldn't catch up as the board ran out {6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Spadavecchia, who finished third in the 1994 World Series of Poker Main Event, pumped his fist in celebration as he chipped up to 465,000. Meanwhile, Nughes was sent to the rail.
