Cloutier Eliminates Schreiber; Round of 32 Set

T.J. Cloutier
T.J. Cloutier
Dan Schreiber moved his stack into the middle holding {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and was well ahead of T.J. Cloutier's {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, but a five on the flop flipped the scales in Cloutier's favor, leaving Schreiber drawing to an ace, jack or running straight cards to stay alive.

Unfortunately for Schreiber, the turn and river blanked out, giving the pot and the match to Cloutier, who will face J.C. Tran in tomorrow's round of 32.
