Scott Clements Eliminated in 21st Place ($8,191)

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Scott Clements
Scott Clements

Scott Clements was all in on the turn of a {6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts} board after check-calling a bet on the flop (having raise preflop from the cutoff and getting called by Kostas Kalathakis).

Clements: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} for a pair of jacks and a three-four low
Kalathakis: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for the nut low.

Clements needed to avoid a ten or queen that wasn't a spade to survive and get a chop but the {Q-Diamonds} meant Kalathakis scooped the pot. The double Omaha bracelet winner will have to wait until next time.

Lawrence Michaels Eliminated in 20th Place ($8,191)

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Crazy action four-ways saw several streets of betting between Jacobo Fernandez, Kostas Kalathakis, Fabrizio Gonzalez and Lawrence Michaels.

The board was reading {6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and all four made it to the river with Michaels all in.

Kalathakis turned over {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for the nut flush while Gonzalez showed {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the nut low, neither Fernandez or Michaels could beat either and were scooped.

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Our ace field reporter Mickey Doft just said, "I don't think Jimmy Fricke has won a pot yet today."

Fricke was just quartered, holding {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} on a {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts} board all in preflop against Travis Pearson's {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, the latter making two pair while both players had a live five for the low.

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Nice work there Mr Doft.

Jimmy Fricke has just trebled back up for his final 14,000 against Francesco Barbaro and Guillaume Rivet. Rivet bet Barbaro off the {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{A-Spades} flop then turned over {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to Fricke's {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, the {7-Hearts} on the turn slightly improving Rivet but the {5-Spades} river made Fricke a wheel to confirm the scoop. Fricke is back up to about 55,000.

David Harper Eliminated in 19th Place ($8,191)

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Four players saw a {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop. Jimmy Harper ended up being all in against Jimmy Fricke who had 1,000 more than him.

Harper: {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Fricke: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and the river the {Q-Clubs} which gave Fricke a straight flush to eliminate Harper. Fricke was up to 105,000 after the hand and the players were redrawing for the final two tables.
