{8-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

and Clark eliminates his opponent to jump up to around 600,000 chips.

Clark is a postman from the Gold Coast in Australia and tells us he is having the time of his life here in Vegas after winning his seat in a pub poker series back in Australia. He was excited to be seated with Phil Hellmuth on Day 2 and has enjoyed spending time with his sporting heros in Shane Warne and Jeff Fenech.

His wife was over here with him but had to recently return to be with their 7-year-old daughter, as Tony continues to make a deep run in this tournament.
