Jonas Klausen Eliminated in 5th ($39,355)

Jonas Klausen - Out in 5th
Jonas Klausen - Out in 5th
Jonas Klausen brings it in with the {3-Clubs} and Ron Long completes with {A-Clubs}.

On fourth, Long bets the {J-Clubs} and Klausen calls with {K-Clubs}.

On fifth, Long bets the {6-Clubs} and Klausen raises nearly all in with {Q-Clubs}. Long re-raises the rest of the way and Klausen calls.

Klausen: ({2-Spades}{4-Clubs}){3-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Long: ({6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}){A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Spades}

Long flips over the jack on seventh for two pair and it is good enough. Klausen is eliminated.

Hughes Running Over the Table

Ryan Hughes continues to play well and to draw well. He tangled with Jonas Klausen again, and again came away with 60,000 more of Klausen's chips. Hughes brought it in with the {2-Clubs}, then raised after Klausen completed the {A-Clubs}. Klausen made the call and bet out when he picked up the {3-Diamonds} on fourth street to Hughes' {4-Clubs}. Hughes called.

On fifth street, Hughes drew the {7-Diamonds} for a nice low board and Klausen bricked with the {9-Hearts}. Klausen check-called Hughes' bet. Things got worse for Klausen on sixth street -- his {8-Spades} to Hughes' {6-Diamonds}. Klausen finally decided he had enough and check-folded.

Hughes showed {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} underneath for a pair of deuces, a 7-6 low, and an open-ended straight draw. He now has over 900,000 in chips.

Tim D'Alessandro Eliminated in 6th ($30,444)

On third street, Thomas Hunt III raises with {A-Clubs} and Tim D'Alessandro reraises with {10-Spades}. Hunt raises again and D'Alessandro caps it. Hunt calls.

On fourth, Hunt bets {K-Diamonds} and D'Alessandro raises {7-Diamonds}. Hunt calls.

On fifth, Hunt bets {9-Hearts} and D'Alessandro calls all in with {3-Clubs}.

Hunt: ({K-Clubs}{A-Spades}){A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
D'Alessandro: ({10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}){10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{J-Spades}

When Hunt is dealt the {A-Diamonds} on sixth, he pumps his fist. "Oh yeahhh!" The full house over full house ends D'Alessandro's day. Jonas Klausen claimed he folded A-K, so there were only two outs that Hunt could have hit.

Dueling Flushes

There was a strange play from Ron Long in a recent hand. After Ryan Hughes brought it in with the {3-Spades}, Long just called with the {Q-Spades}. Alessio Isaia completed the {A-Hearts}, Hughes called, and then Long raised. Pretty much everyone in a three-county radius thought that Long was rolled up. The three players went to sixth street, where Isaia dropped out. On the river, the boards were:

Hughes: x-x / {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} {10-Spades} {7-Spades}
Long: x-x / {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

Long checked with the better board, then called a bet from Hughes. Hughes opened {8-Spades} {4-Spades} {4-Hearts} in the hole for an 8-7 low and an eight-high flush. Long opened {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {3-Hearts} in the hole for a queen-high flush. They chopped the pot.

When Titans Clash

In a battle of the big stacks, Jonas Klausen raises with {A-Clubs} on third street and Ryan Hughges reraises. Klausen calls.

On fourth, Klausen checks {8-Spades} and Hughes bets {7-Clubs}. Klausen calls.

On fifth, Klausen bets {6-Clubs} and Hughes calls {4-Hearts}.

On sixth, Klausen bets {6-Spades} and Hughes calls {K-Diamonds}.

On seventh, Klausen checks and Hughes bets. Klausen calls.

Hughes shows {Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Klausen mucks.

Klausen is down to 373,000 and Hughes is up to 540,000 -- and retakes the lead.
