Hand #15: Ottavio Tassone Eliminated in 5th Place ($10,000)

Freddy Deeb has the button in seat 2. 

Ottavio Tassone moves all in under the gun for 820,000, and Scott Clements moves all in over the top from the cutoff for 1,670,000. The others fold, and Clements shows [8d8s]. Tassone shows [KcJh], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive. 

The flop comes [3h3d2d], and Clements retains the lead. The turn card is the [Ah], and Tassone needs a king or a jack on the river to survive. 

The river card is the [6c], and Scott Clements win the pot with his pocket eights. 

Ottavio Tassone is eliminated in fifth place, earning $10,000.
