Scott Clements was all in on the turn of a board after check-calling a bet on the flop (having raise preflop from the cutoff and getting called by Kostas Kalathakis).
Clements: for a pair of jacks and a three-four low
Kalathakis: 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 meant Kalathakis scooped the pot. The double Omaha bracelet winner will have to wait until next time.
Humberto Brenes has almost doubled, getting paid for on the river of a with only 5,000 left when he turned over against Mallory Smith's which had turned the second nut flush. Smith is not very short as a result.
Jimmy Fricke is down to 110,000 after he paid off a river bet on a board against Guillaume Rivet. The Day 1 chip leader turned over for a rivered straight to increase his own stack to 140,000.
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 on a board all in preflop against Travis Pearson's , the latter making two pair while both players had a live five for the low.
Jimmy Fricke has just trebled back up for his final 14,000 against Francesco Barbaro and Guillaume Rivet. Rivet bet Barbaro off the flop then turned over to Fricke's , the on the turn slightly improving Rivet but the river made Fricke a wheel to confirm the scoop. Fricke is back up to about 55,000.
Four players saw a flop. Jimmy Harper ended up being all in against Jimmy Fricke who had 1,000 more than him.
Harper:
Fricke:
The turn was the and the river the 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.
Jacobo Fernandez was all in preflop in a four-way pot against Ryan Leneghan, Matt Waxman and Fabrizio Gonzalez. The board was checked down, Fernandez turned over for top two but Gonzalez showed for a straight which was enough for the pot.
Mallory Smith called all in for his last 15,000 or so with against Richard Monroe's - the latter held on a board for the pot. That's our 11th exit in just over an hour, maybe we will finish this tournament today...
