Tipper Gored

Under the gun, Dan Chambers raised to 12,000, and he found two calls, one from a middle-position player and another from Chris Tipper in the small blind.

The three men took a flop of {3-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, and Tipper checked to see Chambers continued out with a bet of 24,500. That folded the monkey in the middle, but it drew an all-in check-raise from Tipper. Chambers quickly called, and Tipper was at risk as the cards were turned up:

Chambers: {Q-Clubs} {2-Clubs}
Tipper: {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}

It was an action flop, and Tipper was two cards from elimination. the turn {J-Diamonds} did nothing to help his cause, and the {7-Diamonds} on the river was a brick as well. A set of fives is no good, and that's not good news for Tipper. He's out in 750th place, and the remaining field is now two eliminations from merriment.
