Tripp Kirk opened for 16,000 from middle position only to have Steve Melton move all in for around 70K from the button. The blinds got out of the way and after getting a count, Kirk made the call.
Showdown
Kirk
Melton
Melton was in a dominating spot and primed to double. The flop wasn't anything special, and neither was the turn. Kirk needed to spike a nine on the river to send Melton home, but it was not meant to be as the harmlessly appeared.
We didn't catch the hand, but we can tell you that Michael "Carwash" Schneider has been eliminated from the WSOP Circuit Harrah's St. Louis Main Event.
From under the gun Omar Zazay opened to 17,000, a middle position player re-raised to 39,000 and Gannesh Letchumanan shoved from the small blind for 270,000. Zazay agonized over the screws being put to him. He tanked for a good while considering his action, asked for a count and asked what the average stack was.
After some thought he called, the middle position folded and the hands were tabled.
Zazay:
Letchumanan:
The board ran and Zazay was visibly upset over the ace falling on the turn.
Scott Clements' stack has been growing and shrinking with some regularity today. We just watched him win a couple pots, including knocking out a short stack, and is back up to 250,000.
We don't have the details, but we can confirm that Everrett Carlton was eliminated in 52nd place for $3,228. There have been quite a few eliminations as of late, and we'll work on getting you an updated list on the break, which is coming up in just a few minutes.
