Scott Clements
Scott Clements

PLH

David Lestock raised preflop and Scott Clements, down to his last 60,000 or so, moved all in - Lestock called instantly.

Lestock: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Clements: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The board came {K-Diamonds} (and Clements already began to leave) {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs} as Clements made yet another deep run in a tournament only for the hands to not go his way.

One for Mackoff

PLO

David Lestock raised to 19,000 under the gun and Jonas Mackoff, who was next to act, came along for the ride. The rest of the field cleared out and it was heads up to the {Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop. Lestock continuation bet by leading out for 36,000, which Mackoff called.

Both players proceeded to check both the {4-Spades} turn and {8-Spades} river. "If you have an ace or queen, you have me beat," Lestock told his opponent. Mackoff didn't have either of those, but he did have {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}, which was just as good.

Break Time

Level 20

The first two levels of play saw 10 players hit the rail, which is a pretty good pace for those hoping to see a winner crowned here today. Before that can happen though, the remaining 12 players need to take a 20-minute break.

Level: 21

Who Will Join This List?

Level 21

This event is relatively young when it comes to the WSOP, dating back only to 2008; however, the list of players who've won in the past is quite impressive. In fact, Rami Boukai is looking to win this very event for the second time in three years.

In addition, this event has grown in popularity year in and year out. Compared to last year's field, the 2001 event saw 124 more runners. Not too shabby!

PLO

Jonas Mackoff raised to 22,000 and got called by Shaun [Removed:327] and Jan Collado, they saw a flop of {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} where it was checked to Mackoff who bet 49,000. [Removed:327] folded but Collado raised pot, Mackoff set him in and Collado called.

Collado: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Mackoff: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} giving Collado the nut flush but Mackoff picked up some outs, none hit on the {5-Hearts} river and Collado won a large pot as Mackoff was crippled.
