Eric Clarke Eliminated

Eric Clarke, member of Team Pokernews, has just been eliminated. Clarke was on the button and saw a flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} while holding {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. All the money went in on the flop against a single opponent, who turned over pocket jacks.

Clarke was drawing to a gutshot straight as well as a queen high flush. He made his flush on the turn, and thought he just had to dodge the board pairing. The river was the fourth jack, giving his opponent quads, and Clarke was eliminated.
