Another Break

Players are taking another 15-minute break, and once this break is over, that will also be the end of the registration period. Official entries and payout information will be posted once it becomes available.

Scott Clements Eliminated by Jeff Manning

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Scott Clements was part of a group of players who entered during the last level. He got all in very shortly after sitting down. He raised the pot from middle position and got one caller before Jeff Manning re-raised the pot and the one caller folded. That left Clements and Manning heads-up preflop with Clements' tournament life on the line.

Clements had {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} against the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} of Manning. The board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}, and Manning won the hand and eliminated Clements.

Clements is just two days removed from his fourth-place finish in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, where he took home $277,786.

Esther Taylor Climbs the Leaderboard

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

There was a raise to 1,100 from the player under the gun, and the button called, along with Esther Taylor in the small blind and the big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Taylor led out for 2,200. The under-the-gun player called, along with the button. The turn was the {10-Clubs}, and Taylor made a pot-sized bet of 11,000. Her first opponent thought for a couple minutes before calling for his remaining 9,600 chips, and the button quickly folded.

Taylor tabled {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, and her opponent showed {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. The river landed the {7-Clubs}, and Taylor thought she lost the pot to her opponent's straight. After re-evaluating the cards, though, everyone realized there was no straight for her opponent. Taylor won the pot with two pair and now has a big stack of chips to work with.

Hoang won the side pot with {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, and Drinan won the main pot with {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} for trip fives.
