Scott No Clements-cy

[user76023]

Andy Bloch and another player have chopped up most of Scott Clements' stack.

Bloch: {Q-Hearts}

Clements:

Other Player: {A-Spades}

The board was {9-Hearts}

meaning that Bloch took the high half with his queens and chopped the low with the third player as Clements could only make the second nut-low.

Clements has been crippled as a result.

Fitoussi Counterfeits Juanda For A Scoop

[user76023]

On a

board, Bruno Fitoussi bets out 4,000 and after some serious deliberation, John Juanda moves all-in and Erick Lindgren folds.

Fitoussi flips over {8-Hearts}

for the straight and a 4-3 low and he finds himself freerolling against Juanda's {K-Clubs}

.

The river is the {3-Clubs}

and this means Juanda can only make a 7-6-3-2-A but Fitoussi can make a 6-5-4-3-A for the low to go with his 8-high straight for the high.

Fitoussi is back up to 16,000 and Juanda has about 4,000 left.
