We caught the action on fifth street when two-time WSOP bracelet winner Scott Clements, who finished runner-up in Event #11 $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed for $292,339 earlier in the series, got his last 7,500 in the pot. He for it in good with a made ten against Rick Fuller, who had paired his deuce.
Fuller made a nine-low on sixth, but Clements stayed one step ahead by making an eight low. Clements was one card away from a double, but unfortunately for him Fuller would catch a seven on seventh to make a 7-4-3-2-A, which bested Clements' 8-6-5-4-3.

After Nicholas Verkaik completed, Perry Friedman, who had just been crippled, put in his last 100 chip and then Nikolai Yakovenko raised. Verkaik made the call and then both players checked fourth. When Yakovenko hit trips on fifth, Verkaik tossed a bet into the side pot.
"Normally this would be automatic," Yakovenko said before thinking for 30 seconds and folded. Friedman had a made queen, which was actually ahead of Verkaik's made king. Unfortunately for Friedman, Verkaik caught a on sixth to leave him drawing dead.
Meanwhile, six-time WSOP bracelet winner Layne Flack has been eliminated from the tournament.
Scott Epstein complete from early position, and Frankie O'Dell raised it. Epstein called after everyone else folded, and he also called fourth street.

Epstein caught a against a on fifth, so he bet out. O'Dell called. Things continued to improve for Epstein when he grabbed an , and O'Dell got a . O'Dell was forced to fold to the bet this time, as he was dead to a lot of hands. Epstein continues to hold a dominating chip lead, and after a walk through the room, it appears nobody is within 30,000 of him.
We caught another hand with Huck Seed, and this time he was firing bets on every street.
Seed:
Opponent:
Seed made it two bets to go on third street, and his opponent called. Seed proceeded to fire bets on every street, his opponent willfully calling. Seed turned over the best hand, and one of the other opponents uttered, "Must be a good time to double up, huh Huck?"
David Bach, who began the day as chip leader and has been steadily building, brought it in with a only to have 2010 Razz runner-up Maxwell Troy complete with a . Action folded back to Bach and he decided to call. Troy ended up check-calling a bet on fourth street and then folded when Bach took the lead on fifth and led out.
