The last time we saw Rex Clinkscales was about 15 minutes before the last break. At that time, he was sitting with about 45,000. Well in our last walk through of the tables, we noticed that his seat had been filled by another player. We scanned the tournament area to make sure he hadn't been moved, and we weren't able to spot him, meaning that he has been eliminated from today's event.
As we begin the last two hours of play, we see that a few stacks are starting to get close to the 100k mark. At the moment, it looks like Ron Segni is the closest. By our counts, he's sitting in 91,000, which is tops in the room.
We caught up with the action in a three way pot on a flop of all clubs: . The small blind checked to Chris Coultas in the big blind, and he fired out 1,100. Their middle position opponent called while the small blind ducked out of the way.
The turn brought another club, the , and this time Coultas checked. His opponent fired out 2,000, and Coultas made the call. The river brought the , and Cloutas checked again. This time his opponent checked as well, and rolled over for a jack high flush.
It was no good though, as Coultas tabled for a better flush. After that hand, Coultas is up to 27,000.
"Cowboy" John Land had a good start to his day, upping his stack to 25,000 in the first level. However, it was downhill from there, and he just came over to tell us about his bustout hand.
Action folded all the way around to Land in the small blind, and he limped in. The big blind raised it up to 2,000, and Land jammed all in for his last 9,000. The big blind quickly called, and Land was in big trouble.
