Clements Busts Mercier

A couple of Omaha gold bracelet winners were involved in an all-in pot on this hand. Scott Clements and Jason Mercier butted heads that ended up with the two all in on the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. Mercier was at risk with the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Clements held the {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}. After the turn {2-Diamonds} and river {10-Diamonds}, Clements' full house was the winner and sent Mercier out the door.

Rheem Doubles

From under the gun, Chino Rheem raised to 850. He found a call from the hijack seat and the cutoff seat before the dealer ripped off the {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. Rheem bet the pot for 3,000 with 400 behind. The hijack seat folded and the cutoff seat raised to put Rheem all in.

"All right, I'll gamble with you," said the player in the cutoff seat as he raised.

Rheem called and said, "Are queens good?" spreading the {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

"Oh yeah, they're good," responded the cutoff seat showing the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and river the {9-Clubs}. Rheem's hand held up and he doubled to 9,800 in chips.
