Dave Colclough Eliminated

Dave "El Blondie" Colclough opened for a raise and the big blind made the call. The flop came down {J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and the action was checked over to Colclough, who bet 12,000. The big blind min-raised to 24,000 and Colclough set him all-in. He made the call for 61,600 total.

Colclough turned over {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for top pair while the big blind tabled {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for an open-ended straight draw. The {3-Spades} on the turn was a good card for Colclough, but the {7-Diamonds} on the river was a disaster. The big blind made a seven-high straight and Colclough was forced to surrender all but 37,000 of his chips.

A few hands later, Colclough got the rest of his chips in before the flop, holding {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} in the big blind against the small blind's {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Foul luck, however intervened again, as his opponent flopped a king and turned trips, sending the Englishman to the rail.
