Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy (left) has been eliminated from the WPT Championship. Bax had opened and Richard “Lee Nickel” Fohrenbach raised. Cliff then moved in based on his past experience with Fohrenbach but his timing was bad as Richard quickly called with his pocket aces.

Cliff had AK and was headed out the door after a quick check on a few other players in the tournament. Fohrenbach is up to almost 200k chips.

Shannon Shorr has also been recently eliminated.

The field has dropped below 300 remaining players with the board currently showing 270 players active in the tournament. Players still have a long way to go before the money bubble is reached, but with the top 100 getting paid it will get here quicker than usual for a field of this size.
