Chan Misses 11th Bracelet

Event #23, $1,500 PLO
Chan Misses 11th; Clements Goes Wire to Wire

23 players returned on Friday to decide
the winner of Event #23, $1500 Pot Limit Omaha,
the last of 576 players who began play on Thursday.

Scott Clements held a healthy overnight lead,
though attention was on Johnny Chan in
fourth place, to see if he could win his 11th
WSOP bracelet and tie Phil Hellmuth for
the overall lead.

2007 bracelet winner Burt Boutin was
dismissed at the outset (22nd), and
Chan's hopes ended early as well.

After a slow start, Chan moved his
entire stack in after a flop of 8-2-2
and was called by Martin Davis.

Chan could only show Q-J-9-5
against Davis's J-J-6-6 and, once the
board blanked out, Chan exited in 20th.

Davis soon followed, despite knocking out
Chan, departing in 18th.
