Hennigan Busts Cloutier

Eric Cloutier has been eliminated

Pot-Limit Omaha

Eric Cloutier opened with a raise to 6,500 from the cutoff seat and John Hennigan called from the button. In the big blind, Jon Spinks made the call to be the third player in the hand and the flop came down {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

With 20,700 in the middle, Spinks checked and Cloutier bet 11,500. Hennigan announced a pot-sized raise and made it 55,200. Spinks took a little bit then folded. Cloutier thought longer, but he decided to put all of his money in for a little bit more than the raise. Hennigan quickly called.

Hennigan held top two pair and a straight draw with the {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Cloutier had the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a pair of aces.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and river the {Q-Clubs}, leaving Cloutier's hand second best and sending him to the rail. Hennigan moved to right around 400,000.
