Scott Clements Eliminated

Scott Clements limped in from late position, Juha Helppi raised to 1,200 from the button, the small blind re-raised to 3,000, Clements called, and Helppi called. The flop was {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The small blind bet 12,000, Clements called all in for less, and Helppi folded. Clements showed {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a small flush draw, while his opponent showed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a pair of aces and a slightly bigger flush draw. The turn was the {8-Spades} but the river was the {2-Clubs}, making both players flushes, but giving Clements' opponent the higher flush.

The Cards Speak

Andy Bloch called his opponent's all-in on the {J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop holding A-2-3-4. Both players turned their hands face up. When the {5-Clubs} fell on the turn, making his opponent's flush, Bloch turned his cards back over, believing he was now drawing dead. However, a 2 fell on the river, making Bloch's boat. As the dealer began to push the pot to Bloch's opponent, their tablemate, Robert Williamson III, spoke up.

"I hate to do this to you, but he made a full house" said Williamson.

Since Bloch's cards had been face up during the all in, and his opponent realized he was beaten and did not object, Bloch was awarded the pot.
