Mccluskey Has Aces Beaten on the Bubble
The partypoker UK Championships Main Event is on the pure bubble after Mark Mccluskey was eliminated.
Mccluskey was all-in for 450,000 and had two opponents still in the pot with decisions to make. The first was Tamas Polster and he mulled over his decision counting and recounting his chip-stack before slamming down a call. The other player still to act let his hand go after some deep thought.
Mark Mccluskey: 
Tamas Polster: 
Board: 
The flop gave Polster a surprise lead as a king hit and he shouted in happiness. The turn gave him a flush draw to go alongside his set meaning Mccluskey was drawing to just the ace-of-clubs. He could not hit his one-outer and departed short of the money places.
Hand-for-hand play continues and after the next elimination all 119 remaining players will be in the money.
