Pottage = Choppage

Scott Clements raises to 35,000 and Antony Lellouche reraises to 115,000. Clements calls and then pots the {K-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Spades} flop. Lellouche moves all-in and Clements calls with {A-Spades} {K-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} for two pair and a flush draw for the high, while Lellouche has {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} for queens and the nut low draw. The turn is the {7-Hearts} giving Lellouche the low and they chop it on the {7-Clubs} river.

De Wolfe Quarters Ruiz

In a multiway pot, it's checked around to the river of a {9-Spades} {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} board. Ruiz bets around 30,000 on the river. Only Roland de Wolfe calls, Ruiz shows {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for and A-3 low and a pair of sevens. The Brit shows {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} for two pair and the same low.

Ruiz is starting to get a bit short.

The tournament clock has been paused and all of the players have left their seats while the bracelet winners from yesterday are being announced. The ceremony will take a few minutes as each player's national anthem will be played upon receiving their bracelet. Be back shortly.

Not much information was found on our seven seat, Armando "Tiny" Ruiz II, nor was there a lot of information on his bio sheet. Ruiz comes to us from Tamarac, Florida and is making his first ever cash, but there's no better way to do that than at a WSOP final table.

Ruiz will begin the day towards the bottom of the pack with 192,000 chips.

Seat 8 - John Racener
John Racener is from Tampa, Florida and has over $1 million in career tournament earnings. Today marks his sixth WSOP cash in his career, cashing twice this year already. Back in 2007, he came out victorious at the WSOP Circuit event in Atlantic City for nearly $380,000. That was his largest cash to date, but he's had three six-figure scores in all. Racener will be looking to capture his first gold WSOP bracelet today.
