John Clancy Eliminated in 9th Place ($29,950)

John Clancy - 9th Place
John Clancy - 9th Place
John Clancy has just been eliminated from the tournament in a hand that seemed to play as fast, if not faster, than a sit'n'go turbo hand online!

Clancy opened with a raise to 30,000 from under-the-gun and action folded around the table to Robert Mizrachi in the big blind who took a handful of creamsicle colored chips (T10,000) and tossed them into the middle, raising to 90,000. Clancy then immediately moved all in and Mizrachi called, tabling {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}; he'd soon be racing against Clancy's {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

The {3-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop gave Mizrachi a gutshot straight draw, though another one of his outs -- the {A-Clubs} -- would hit on the turn, giving him top pair.

"Nice hand," said Clancy as he stood up from the table, conceding defeat before the dealer even revealed the river card... the {J-Diamonds}.

After the hand, Mizrachi stacked up 1.93 million in chips, further extending his chip lead.
