Scott Ian Next to Go

Ian's ace-eight no good
Ian's ace-eight no good
With a player in the pot in front of him, Team UB Pro and Anthrax axeman Scott Ian moved all in for about 24,000. The table folded back around to the original raiser, and he made the call to put Ian at risk with {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. It was a bad spot for the man with the badass beard, and he sheepishly tabled {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} for his tournament life.

The flop opened the door a crack though, as it rolled out {5-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} to give the at-risk Ian a draw at his gutshot. The turn {Q-Clubs} was useless though, and the {4-Diamonds} that rivered will be the last of Ian's day.

Just moments after his fellow-UB Pro Shawn Rice hit the rail, Scott Ian has followed him out the door. That leaves just Phil Hellmuth and Matt Vengrin as host-sponsored players still in contention for the title.
