Clinkscales Gets Cut Down

Well a solid contender for name of the tournament has just been eliminated shortly after the dinner break. Rex Clinkscales had about 45,000 coming back from the dinner break, but that stack quickly evaporated in the 20 minutes since we've come back. We caught the end of the hand that did most the damage.

The board read {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, and with about 18,000 already in the middle, Clinkscales fired out 15,500. This sent his opponent deep into the tank, and after about two minutes, he made the call. Clinkscales mucked his hand, and his opponent tabled {9-Spades}{5-Spades} for trip fives.

"I was worried he flopped a set of sixes," his opponent said as he pulled in the chips. Clinkscales was eliminated shortly after.
