Fitoussi Counterfeits Juanda For A Scoop

On a {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} 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} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} for the straight and a 4-3 low and he finds himself freerolling against Juanda's {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}.

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.

Scott No Clements-cy

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

Bloch: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {3-Spades} {A-Hearts}
Clements: {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}
Other Player: {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

The board was {9-Hearts} {6-Spades} {J-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} 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.
