[user75032]

Eric Drache is running out of chips. He lost yet another big pot to Freddie Ellis, with Ellis betting fifth and sixth streets showing (X-X) / {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

. Drache developed (X-X) / {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

{j-Clubs}

, but couldn't straighten out. Both players checked the river, with Ellis turning up {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

for trip nines. Drache mucked what he said was two pair, queens up.

After that loss, Drache is down to 575,000. He is on the ropes.
