Robert Whittman opened to 20,000 on from the hijack and Scotter Clark made the call on the button.

The flop came out {5-}{5-}{2-} and both players checked the flop.

The turn came a {k-} and Whitman checked again. Clark bet 25,000. Whittman checked-raised to 185,000, enough to ut Clark all in. Clark snap-called.

Scotter Clark: {2-}{2-}
Robert Whittman: {a-}{k-}

Clark flopped the full house against the top pair of Whittman. The river landed the devastating third {5-} to give Whittman a better full house and send Clark home.

"I had a great time, we had fun today," said Clark. "I'm heading to Mason CIty Arena for the North Iowa Fights this Saturday, would love as many poker players as possible to come out. We'll be partying Captain Jack style."
