Clements Eliminated

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

A short-stacked Scott Clements was all in for his last 136,000 and Adam Foster re-raised to isolate and the two would see a flop heads up with Foster's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} having Clements's {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} dominated. The board would run out {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Foster's ace kicker would give him the pot. The tournament is now down to 69 players.

Almagableh Busts Pruitt

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We found a short-stacked Gerome Pruitt all in and at risk before the flop with {A-Clubs}{8-Spades} against Abdul Almagableh's {Q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}, keeping Pruitt's ace-high out in front. The {J-Hearts} on the turn, however, spelled disaster for Pruitt as it paired Almagableh's jack and gave him the lead. The {6-Spades} completed the board, ensuring that Almagableh would score the knockout.

Vaillancourt Tank-Folds Against Steven

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Brandon Steven and Noah Vaillancourt saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} in a raised pot. Steven checked the flop and Vaillancourt fired out a bet of 25,000. Steven came over the top with a check-raise to 70,000 and Vaillancourt stayed the course.

Fourth street was the {a-Spades} and Steven slowed with a check. Vaillancourt knuckled the table in reply, allowing the {2-Clubs} to finish the board. Steven bet 122,000, sending Vaillancourt deep into the tank.

Roughly three minutes passed while Vaillancourt pondered his action.

"Sorry guys," he said to the table after a bit. All of the while, Steven quietly enjoyed a massage at the table.

Ultimately, Vaillancourt let it go and Steven pulled the pot. Steven now has about 665,000 to Vaillancourt's 220,000.
