We caught this hand unfolding after a flop of and Chris Bell bet 3,300 from the big blind. Johnny Kincaid was in the cutoff and raised to 10,500. Bell took a few moments to think and then moved all in for around 38,000.
Kincaid went deep into the tank and took more than a few minutes to make his decision. He finally said, "I can't lay this down, you're going to have to show me a set," as he table pocket kings.
Bell turned up and needed help to keep his tournament alive. He whiffed when the board completed and made his way out of the tournament area.
We were just about to check on Garry Gates when we bumped into him a few feet away from his table. He was smirking, but we know that frown-smirk when we see it. He had just been eliminated.
Gates proceeded to tell us about his demise, the result of a blind-versus-blind battle with Johnny Kincaid. Gates opened to 3,500 in the small, and Kincaid flatted to see the flop. Kincaid flatted another bet of 5,200 there, and Gates fired another 13,000 on the turn. Now Kincaid put in a raise to 33,000 to force his opponent's move. Gates had started the hand with just less than 80,000, and his was good enough to call it off for his tournament life.
It was no good. Kincaid had out-flopped him with , and Gates could not fill up on the river to stay alive.
We're just realizing that we haven't seen Scott Clements all day long. He had 27,000 chips in his bag overnight, and he must have shown up at some point. But he's not here now, and we'll presume he's busto until we learn otherwise.
We found Drazen Ilich and Kyle Golden with a generous sized pot built at the river. The board showed and Ilich bet 11,500. Golden took some time to think about it and elected to fold.
"Show me a flush," Golden said as he tossed his cards to the dealer.
"Can't show you a flush," Ilich said as he tabled the .
