PearlJammer Out

Jon Turner Eliminated
Jon Turner Eliminated
Stud-8

Jon 'PearlJammer' Turner battled on valiantly with his short stack during the Stud-8 round. He chipped up by picking up half with just a pair of sixes for the high in a multi-way pot but eventually succumbed against Scott Clements.

Clements led the betting and Turner was all in by fifth street with the board as follows:

Clements: ({4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}) {2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades} ({6-Hearts})
Turner: ({J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}) {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} ({7-Clubs})

Turner makes two pair but Clements made a wheel and six-high straight to scoop the pot and eliminate Turner.

A Monnette Sandwich

Stud-8

Just prior to the break, Scotty Nguyen and Vitaly Lunkin chopped a big pot as John Monnette was left stuck in the middle.

Lunkin: (X-X) {6-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} (X)
Nguyen: (X-X) {5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} (X)
Monnette: (X-X) {2-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} (X)

With bets and raises on every street, things got busy on fifth street when Nguyen bet, Monnette raised and Lunkin reraised. Both opponents called, and called again on sixth before Lunkin fired once more on the river. Nguyen raised and Monnette called. Lunkin reraised and Nguyen reraised again with both opponents making the call.

Lunkin: {6-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} ({K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds})
Nguyen: {5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} ({A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs})

Lunkin took the high with a full house and Nguyen wheeled in the low. Monnette looked at his opponent's boards and mucked.

"Thanks a lot dealer!" Monnette said sarcastically as he headed to dinner with just 170,000 chips.

Hawrilenko Bricks Razz

Razz

Matt Hawrilenko has taken a hit during a Razz hand after bricking on the river. The pot was inflated when we arrived at the table with Hawrilenko firing a bet on the river but Deeb made a big call.

Hawrilenko tabled {2-?}{7-?}{A-?}{J-?} ({A-?}{3-?}{A-?}) for a jack-low after catching three aces as Deeb revealed {2-?}{10-?}{6-?}{6-?} ({7-?}{10-?}{3-?}) for a ten-low to take it down.

Hawrilenko is down to 175,000 with Deeb up to 650,000.

Clements Crippled by Bach's Rockets

Hold'em

Preflop, Scott Clements raised and David Bach reraised. Clements made the call and they took a flop of {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

Clements checked, Bach bet and Clements made the call. The turn brought the {10-Spades} to put a pair on board but that didn't slow down Bach as he bet and Clements called again.

The river was the {K-Spades} and Clements check-called for a third time in the hand, but Bach showed him {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} for aces and tens to take it down.

Clements slips to just 50,000 to be on the short stack and Bach cracks the one million chip barrier.

Kassela had a pair of aces with {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} but Deeb had two pair queens and sixes with {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} (X) and took down the pot.

Kassela = 575,000
Deeb = 600,000

Clements Recovers

Scott Clements
Scott Clements
Hold'em

Scott Clements has very quickly turned his fortunes around with two double ups in succession to keep his head above water.

In the first hand, Hasan Habib opened with a raise, Clements reraised all in for his last chips and Habib made the call.

Habib: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Clements: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Clements spiked a set when the board ran out {Q-Spades}{K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and he was back to about 120,000.

A moment or two later he took {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} to war against the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} of Thor Hansen and won the race when the board landed {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} to give him another double.

Suddenly Clements is back to 280,000.

Seed Escapes with a Scoop

Omaha-8

Gus Hansen made a button raise, Huck Seed called from the small blind and Erik Seidel called from the big blind. The flop came down {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Seed checked to Seidel, who bet, Hansen raised, Seed called and Seidel called. Everyone checked the {Q-Spades} on the turn as well as the {2-Diamonds} on the river.

"I have a button hand that has a chance," quipped Gus Hansen.

Seed, however, turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {3-Clubs} for top pair and with no possible low, he scooped the pot.
