Scheibner Downs Clinkscales

Nível 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Gary Garibyan raised from early position, and Lloyd Scheibner called in middle position. Rex Clinkscales, in the next seat along, three-bet and left himself with just 2,600 behind. The player on the button cold-called, as Garibyan and Scheibner, also came along to see the flop.

Garibyan checked, Scheibner bet, and Clinkscales called, which left him with just a single 100 chip to play with. The player on the button folded and Garibyan made the call to send the hand three-way to the turn.

Garibyan checked again, Scheibner continued with a bet, and Clinkscales put his final chip into the pot. Garibyan got out the way, and they went to showdown.

Lloyd Scheibner:
Rex Clinkscales:

River:

Scheibner was ahead with top two pair and the river changed nothing as WSOP ring winner Clinkscales, who came into the day second in chips and had built his stack up well in the early proceedings, was eliminated at the start of level 15 for a payout worth $2,336.

Goatz Busts But Splits the Money

Nível 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

In the first round of hand-for-hand, there were two all-ins and calls, as Phil Goatz exited, but split the money.

Goatz had all his chips in the middle with pocket kings on a board and was called by his opponent who held .
The turn and river was no help for Goatz who exited the event.

But there was some luck for Goatz as at the same time, another player on a different table was all in with on a queen-high board only to see his opponent call with pocket queens, which ended in another elimination.

As the two eliminations happened in the same hand on different tables, Goatz and the other eliminated player chop the 90th place prize of $2,246, for $1,123 each.
