Hang Doubles Through Clements

No-Limit Hold'em

We didn't see how the betting went down exactly, but Tommy Hang was on the button when he was all in for around 150,000 holding {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. He was up against Scott Clements in the small blind, with him holding {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

By the time the {9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} board had run out, Hang had raked in the double up, while Clements chip stack is still quite healthy.

Gabriel Nassif Eliminated in 9th Place ($16,186)

No Limit Hold'em

Julien Renard opened for 15,000 in the small blind and Gabriel Nassif moved all in from the big blind. Renard called and the hands were tabled.

Renard: {A-Spades} {10-Hearts}
Nassif: {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs}

The board ran {2-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {9-Diamonds} and Renard won the hand. Renards stack was counted at 121,000 even. Nassif counted his stack and he had 121,500 exactly. Both stacks were counted a second time for verification and Nassif was indeed left with one T500 purple chip.

He tossed his last chip in for the ante and the game switched to Razz. Michael Saltzburg decided to play the hand he made a jack-ten low and Nassif was eliminated.

Scott Clements Eliminated in 8th Place ($21,645)

Scott Clements - 8th Place
Scott Clements - 8th Place

Stud

It has taken two hands to see Scott Clements eliminated on the bubble of the "unofficial" final table of seven. The first hand that left him crippled saw him check-raised on seventh street by Chris Bjorin. At the end, the hands looked like this.

Bjorin: Board - {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} / Hole - {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Clements: Board - {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs} / Hole - {k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Clements held a straight to the seven, while Bjorin managed to hold a straight to the king. The very next hand saw Clements all in during the first round of betting, having to come up against Thomas Chambers.

Clements: {7-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} / {9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Clubs} / {8-Clubs}
Chambers: {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} / {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} / {7-Clubs}

Chambers drew the straight and Clement's cards went into the muck as he was sent out the door in eighth place.

Julian Renard Eliminated in 7th Place ($21,645)

It took just around ten minutes to lose our first player at the "unofficial" final table, which brings us to the official final table of six. The player who has gone home as our final table bubble was Julian Renard. It was during a hand of stud against Vanessa Selbst. Here is how the cards were drawn out.

Selbst: {x-}{x-} / {9-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} / {x-}
Renard: {x-}{x-} / {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {x-}

Thomas Chambers brought it in with a {6-Hearts} showing, then Renard completed with his {a-Clubs}. Selbst then called with the {9-Clubs} out front and Chambers got out of the way. On fourth street, Renard check-called a bet from Selbst. On fifth street, both players checked. On sixth, Renard check-raised, leaving himself with just a few thousand behind. Selbst then made the re-raise and Renard was all in. Selbt tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}, having two-pair, while Renard held {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} in the hole.

The final card for Renard was a {j-Spades}, which left him still behind Selbt's two-pair. The meaningless {8-Clubs} was added to Selbst's hand and she raked in the pot, while Renard was sent home in seventh place.

With that, we are at our final table!
