Kaplan and Cloutier Eliminated

Gabe Kaplan and T.J. Cloutier have been eliminated from the tournament in back-to-back hands. On table six, Little looked up Kaplan's all-in bet holding {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}; Kaplan tabled {J-Spades}{4-Spades}. The board filled out {Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades} giving each player a pair, but Little held the higher of the two and sent Kaplan to the rail.

Across the room on table one, J.C. Tran opened the pot with a raise and T.J. countered by moving all in over the top of Tran's bet. J.C. made the call and tabled a pocket pair of fours, well ahead of T.J.'s {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. The board blanked out and Tran's fours held up to eliminate Cloutier from the tournament, ending his impressive streak of cashes (3) in this event.
