Day 1 Chip Leader Rex Clinkscales Busts
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Rex Clinkscales had a rough level. For most of the day he cruised along just about where he started, but he found himself short stacked and all in after a preflop confrontation with Ken Aldridge.
Clinkscales: 
Aldridge: 
"Looks like I'm gonna need some diamonds," Aldridge said after seeing the hands.
But he didn't need diamonds. The board ran out 
to give him the nut straight and the only qualifying low. He scooped both pots and Clinkscales was eliminated from the tournament.
