Todd Bui Eliminated in 18th Place ($9,481)

[user162117]

Despite managing to double up early, Todd Bui was still the shortest stack in the tournament by a long shot heading into the final 18. Unfortunately it has no all come to an end for Bui in 18th place. We didn't catch the action, but we can tell you that he scored $9,481 for his effort and looked in good spirits when we spotted him on the rail.

Lee Goldman Eliminated in 17th Place ($9,481)

[user162117]

Badugi

Lee Goldman has just hit the rail during a hand of Badugi. It started with Goldman raising it up from the hijack. Mike Wattel then three-bet from the cutoff. Goldman called and then drew one, while Wattel stood pat.

Goldman checked here and Wattel bet. Goldman called and only had one a small amount remaining. On the next draw, Goldman took one again and Wattel stood pat again. Goldman checked and Wattel bet. Goldman then called all in for 10,200. Here is how the cards looked at this point, with Goldman still drawing one, while Wattel had a ten-eight four-card badugi.

Wattel:

Goldman:

Goldman peeled his card and said, "it's a diamond!" but then he turned over the {2-Diamonds} , with his pair sending his three-card badugi into the muck. With that, we are down to 16.

Mackey Slipping

[user196975]

Limit Hold'em

We didn't catch up with this hand until the river between James Mackey and Mike Gorodinsky. The board was {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} and there was already a sizable pot built.

Gorodinsky bet the river and Mackey tank-called. Gorodinsky tabled {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} and Mackey busted.

Clements Wins at Stud

[user162117]

Stud

When we arrived at the table there was already plenty of chips in the pot and it was on fifth street during a hand of Stud. At this point Clements was all in for the remainder of his short stack and the cards were turned face up. Here is how it all looked by the end of the hand.

Scott Clements: {9-Spades}

/

/

Mike Wattel: {8-Diamonds}

/

With that, Clements raked in some much needed chips with his two-pair, while Wattel took a hit to his stack.
