Kenny Tran Rivers a Flush, Doubles Through Clements

Scott Clements looked in great shape to be the third player from the Clubs bracket to advance to the round of 32, getting it all in with pocket tens against the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} held by Kenny Tran.

The board was a promising {7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, but the {K-Clubs} on the turn was a scary card for Clements as it gave his opponent the nut flush draw. Clements' nightmare was realized when the {Q-Clubs} fell on the river, sending the pot Tran's way.

Scott is still in good shape, however, as Tran was relatively short-stacked before the start of the hand.
