Casey McCarrel Eliminated in 9th Place ($10,320)

[user66118]

David Clark opened the pot to 36,000 in early position, and he found calls from both Ron Segni (cutoff) and Casey McCarrel (big blind).

Three-handed, they went off to the {7-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} flop, and Clark continued out with another 46,000. Segni quickly raised to 110,000 total, but the action wasn't done yet. Check-raising all in, Casey McCarrel committed his last 372,000 chips to the pot. That folded Clark quickly, but Segni asked for the count and made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Showdown
McCarrel: {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Segni: {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

It was a good call by Segni, but McCarrel had plenty of outs to catch up. The {5-Hearts} on fourth street wasn't one of them, but it did open up another set of outs as turned the open-ended straight draw. He needed to catch any trey, eight, king, or spade to stay alive.

Segni was the one standing up, and he nervously pleaded with the dealer. "Deuce of clubs!" he wished.

River: {2-Clubs}

Ask and ye shall receive, and Segni has just received the rest of his opponent's chips.

It's the end of the line for McCarrel, running out of chips in ninth place. That's good for a consolation prize of more than $10,000, the first five-figure payday of this event.

Segni is now comfortably in the chip lead with close to 1.6 million.

Lowery Beating Up On the Clarks

[user66118]

Daniel Lowery is all the way up into second place after dragging two pots in short order.

The first one began with him opening to 60,000, and Chris Clark called to see a heads-up flop. It came {J-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} , and Lowery checked and called a bet of 100,000 from his opponent. The {2-Clubs} on the turn drew a check-check from the two men, and the river came the {9-Diamonds} . Lowery merely had to reach for chips, and Clark quickly surrendered.

A couple hands later, it was David Clark opening to 45,000, and Lowery defended his big blind. The flop came {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} , and Lowery check-called another 67,000 from Clark. When the {4-Hearts} turned, though, he led right out with 85,000, and Clark quickly called. The river brought the {8-Diamonds} and another bet from Lowery, 150,000 this time. Clark gave it a look, but he eventually uncapped his cards and used the chip to flick his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Lowery	1,210,000 538,000	538,000
David Clark	725,000 -425,000	-425,000
Chris Clark	500,000 -200,000	-200,000

Chris Clark Eliminated in 8th Place ($12,932)

[user66118]

Bryan Schultz raised to what looked like 48,000 from middle position, but he'd not get to see the flop. In the cutoff seat, Chris Clark shoved for 280,000 total, and Joe Fernandez came in from the cold out of the small blind to put Clark at risk. "I was just messing around," Schultz admitted as he slipped his cards back into the muck and let the other two tangle.

Showdown
Clark: {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Fernandez: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

Clark caught a little piece of the {8-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {J-Clubs} flop, but he was still trailing Fernandez's overpair. The turn {6-Hearts} and river {4-Hearts} failed to save his tournament life, and we're minus another player here at the final table. It's Chris Clark falling in eighth place, and he'll move up the ladder with a paycheck of close to $13,000.
