Scott Clements -- not the one who has two WSOP bracelets (including one in PLO), but another player with the same name -- was just eliminated in 28th place. (Kind of a David Bakeresque situation, you might say, with multiple good players having the same name.)

Bryce Yockey has just eliminated Brian Powell.

Yockey has continued to maintain his stack of about a quarter million. He and Depa and fighting for second, still well behind Kevin Iacofano who is still well above 300,000.

We're not sure when all the money got in, but it was all in the middle by the river. The turn was the , giving both a fullhouse, but it was the on the river that sent gasps through the Amazon Room.
It was a devastating card to knock Gill out of the tournament.
Shortly after busting out Tad Jurgens, Norman Collingsworth was himself eliminated in hand versus Jonathan Depa.
Action began with a raise from Depa in early position to 14,000. Collingsworth called from the cutoff. The flop came . Depa bet 30,000, Collingsworth pushed all in, and Depa called.
Depa held for top set and a gutshot, while Collingsworth had for the nut flush draw. The turn was the and the river the , and Collingsworth is out.
Depa now is up to 270,000.
