TJ Cloutier Takes One Out Apr 21, '18 A short-stacked player made his final push for about 60,000 or so with J10 and ran into the AK of TJ Cloutier. The board ran out A8566 and Cloutier stacked up to 175,000. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier TJ With QJ Apr 21, '18 With a flop of 954 it was checked around in a five-way pot. After the turn of 3 it checked to TJ Cloutier, who bet 1,000. Only one opponent called and the river brought the A. The caller now lead out for 4,000 into Cloutier, who quickly called with the QJ for a turned flush. His opponent mucked his cards and Cloutier chipped up to 51,000. Player Tags: T.J.

Two other players limped in, the small blind called and the big blind checked. The flop fell Q97, and the small blind checked. The big blind bet 600, which was over the size of the pot. The bet seemed to indicate a two pair type hand. Cloutier mucked, and Jody Wagen in middle position called. The other players folded. The 2 fell on the turn, and the big blind bet 600 again. Wagen called. The river was the K, and the big blind checked. Wagen bet 1,600. The big blind player looked disgruntled and eventually mucked. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier, Jody Wagen T.J.

Cloutier Crippled After Losing Huge Hand With Aces Apr 22, '18 There was an opening bet to 125,000, and the button raised to 500,000. T.J. Cloutier was next to act in the small blind and he shoved all in for about 1.2 million in total. Stefan Williams in the big blind also moved all in, but it was only for 625,000. It was folded back to Cloutier and he tabled AA. Williams tabled JJ, and he was in need of a lot of help. He remarked to Cloutier, “this will be the fifth time you busted me in a tournament.” Cloutier responded, “it’s not over yet.” The flop had plenty of assistance in store, as it fell J104. Cloutier was dismayed at the turn of events. The 4 on the turn gave Cloutier some new hope with a flush draw, but the J on the river gave Williams quads. Cloutier was down to about 500,000. Williams was sitting with an above average stack of about 1.8 million thanks to the pot. Player Tags: T.J.

Not saying I will.” Franco thought it over for a while before flashing pocket jacks and mucking his hand. Cloutier showed ace-king as he raked in the pot. Player Tags: T.J.

Gottumukkala's Big Slick Holds Off Cloutier's Spade Draw Apr 11, '15 On a flop of A75, there was a flurry of bets and raises that led to Srikanth Gottumukkala get his last 36,700 chips into the middle from late position against TJ Cloutier out of the big blind. Cloutier showed QJ and was searching for a spade against Gottumukkala’s AK. The turn was the 2 and the river was the 7 to keep Gottumukkala in the lead and sink Cloutier to 35,000 chips. Gottumukkala doubles up to 92,000. Player Tags: T.J.

Cloutier TJ And The Ladies Apr 11, '15 Poker Hall of Famer T.J. Cloutier is in the field here on day 1B, looking to add to his lifetime live tournament earnings of over $10 million. Cloutier finished runner-up in the largest field WSOP Circuit event ever held earlier this year right her at Choctaw Resort Casino, earning $122,040 for making it down to heads-up from a field of 4,053. We haven;t caught CLoutier in any big pots yet today, however. So far most of the hands we’ve seen him play go down like the one we just caught: from middle position Cloutier opened to 800. It quickly folded around and Cloutier raked in the blinds and antes as he flashed his QQ. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier If at First You Don't Succeed Apr 11, '15 With unlimited re-entries in this event, there are several players who are taking another crack at this event after failing to make it through Day 1A. 2012 WSOP Bracelet winner Larry Wright, Lynn Samples and Katherine Bowen are all taking a shot on Day 1B after firing at least one bullet on Day 1B. Six-Time WSOP Bracelet winner TJ Cloutier, Seneca Easley and La Sengphet are all taking their first shot today.

Lewis checked again and Araya moved all in for about 400,000. Cloutier called off his 137,000 and Lewis folded. “I guess you got me in bad shape,” said Cloutier just before the cards were turned over. Cloutier was right with Araya tabling AK and Cloutier showing A9. “I knew you had me good, but I just couldn’t throw it away at that point,” said Cloutier. The river was the 5 and Araya’s hand held up. Cloutier was eliminated in 24th place and took home $4,626 and Abraham Araya chipped up to 560,000. Player Tags: T.J.

Seidel showed 76, giving her the same straight and they would chop the main pot. “You won the big one,” joked Seidel as Cloutier took in a 212,000 chip side pot. Cloutier chipped up to 725,000 and Samples slid to 500,000. Player Tags: T.J.

Lynn Samples Busts TJ Cloutier Aug 01, '14 We missed the action, but we found TJ Cloutier getting up from his seat and Lynn Samples stacking his chips. She recounted to us that she had raised preflop and Cloutier called. The flop was Q-3-2 and she continuation bet and Cloutier raised. She called and the turn was another queen. She checked and Cloutier went all in. Samples called and showed Q-10 and had Cloutier drawing dead with his A-J. The river was meaningless and Samples was up to 267,000 in chips. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier, Lynn Samples TJ Cloutier Makes a Straight Against Kimmie Stone Aug 01, '14 Kimmie Stone bet 1,600 out of the small blind on a flop of A54 and was called by TJ Cloutier from the big blind. The turn was the 6 and Stone checked. Cloutier bet 3,000 and Stone check-called. The river was the 4 and Stone checked again. Cloutier bet 6,000 and Stone check-folded. “These are the good ones to make,” said TJ as he tabled 73. “They are sneaky.” Cloutier chipped up to 43,000 while Stone sits with 51,000. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier Deja Vu for TJ Cloutier Aug 01, '14 There was a raise to 225 under-the-gun and a call from TJ Cloutier on the button. The flop was 982 and the under-the-gun player folded to a bet of 400 from Cloutier. “The last time I called you with ace-nine suited, it came nine high,” said Cloutier as he showed A9. Cloutier scoops the pot and is hovering around his original 20,000 starting stack. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier Familiar Faces Aug 01, '14 During an initial pass through the tournament field, we’ve spotted some familiar faces on the felt. Six-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner TJ Cloutier is present, hoping to make a deep run and add to his over $10 million in career live tournament earnings. Also in the field is RunGood Pro Michael Sanders. Earlier in the year, Sanders final tabled the WSOP Circuit Main Event here in Choctaw where he ultimately finished in eighth place for over $45,000. Fellow RunGood Pro Daniel Lowery is also in the field. Other players currently present include Krista Lowery, Katherine Bowen, and WSOP bracelet winner Chris Tryba. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier Jonathan Stipe Eliminates T.J. Cloutier and Matt Ludlow Aug 02, '14 Matt Ludlow moved all-in for his last 6,000 from under the gun and Jonathan Stipe came over the top for his last 40,000 from under the gun +1. Action folded around to T.J. Cloutier in the big blind who also moved all-in for less than 40,000. Ludlow: AQ Stipe: 88 Cloutier: 1010 “Ace in the window,” Ludlow said. “I’m not ready to go home yet.” Ludlow did not get an ace on the flop, but instead saw the 10 to give Cloutier a set. “How about a ten,” Cloutier said as the flop completed 95. Ludlow and Stipe were drawing extremely thin with back-door straight draws to stay alive. The 6 on the turn was one of the cards Stipe needed to see and his hand completed with the 7 on the river to send both Cloutier and Ludlow to the rail while an astonished table watched on. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier, Matt Ludlow Cloutier Pushes Back Aug 02, '14 A player limped from middle position and it folded over to TJ Cloutier in the big blind who made it 800 to go. Action folded back to the limper and he called to see a 276 flop. Cloutier’s opponent checked and the six-time WSOP bracelet winner continued for 1,200. His opponent clicked it back with a check-raise to 2,400 only to have Cloutier instantly three-bet to 6,000. Cloutier’s opponent folded his cards and Cloutier was pushed the pot. He now has about 22,500 in chips. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier Cloutier Gives Some Advice Aug 02, '14 A player in middle position raised to 525 and TJ Cloutier calls one seat over and Allan Farber called from the big blind. The flop was QQJ and all three players checked. The turn was the 5 and action checked to Cloutier, who bet 1,200. Farber and the original raiser quickly folded and Cloutier showed AQ, good for trip queens. “If there is one thing I know about these tournaments, it’s that you can’t win them on the first day,” said Cloutier. “You got to get to the second day and the third day and give yourself a chance to win.” He went on to tell a story about his first tournament in Aruba to hammer home his point. The rest of the table nodded in agreement as Cloutier dragged the pot and is still around right around his starting stack of 20,000. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier, Allan Farber Cloutier Can't Beat Those Sets Aug 02, '14 After an early position limp, TJ Cloutier raised to 400 from the cutoff and was called by the big blind and the limper. The flop was J54 and the limper bet 600 after the big blind checked. Cloutier raised to 1,700 and the big blind cold-called. The limper folded and it was heads-up to the Q turn card. The big blind takes a few moments before leading out for 1,600. “I can’t beat those sets,” said Cloutier as he quickly folded his hand. “He would have made more if he leads at it on the flop.” “You had ace-jack?” asked another player. “Two aces,” replied Cloutier, who sits with just over 18,000.

Action folded back to the limper and he called to see a 276 flop. Cloutier’s opponent checked and the six-time WSOP bracelet winner continued for 1,200. His opponent clicked it back with a check-raise to 2,400 only to have Cloutier instantly three-bet to 6,000. Cloutier’s opponent folded his cards and Cloutier was pushed the pot. He now has about 22,500 in chips. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier Cloutier Gives Some Advice Aug 02, '14 A player in middle position raised to 525 and TJ Cloutier calls one seat over and Allan Farber called from the big blind. The flop was QQJ and all three players checked. The turn was the 5 and action checked to Cloutier, who bet 1,200. Farber and the original raiser quickly folded and Cloutier showed AQ, good for trip queens. “If there is one thing I know about these tournaments, it’s that you can’t win them on the first day,” said Cloutier. “You got to get to the second day and the third day and give yourself a chance to win.” He went on to tell a story about his first tournament in Aruba to hammer home his point. The rest of the table nodded in agreement as Cloutier dragged the pot and is still around right around his starting stack of 20,000. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier, Allan Farber Cloutier Can't Beat Those Sets Aug 02, '14 After an early position limp, TJ Cloutier raised to 400 from the cutoff and was called by the big blind and the limper. The flop was J54 and the limper bet 600 after the big blind checked. Cloutier raised to 1,700 and the big blind cold-called. The limper folded and it was heads-up to the Q turn card. The big blind takes a few moments before leading out for 1,600. “I can’t beat those sets,” said Cloutier as he quickly folded his hand. “He would have made more if he leads at it on the flop.” “You had ace-jack?” asked another player. “Two aces,” replied Cloutier, who sits with just over 18,000.

T.J. Cloutier Among The Leaders Aug 05, '12 Justin Jones open shipped for his last 72,000 and T.J. Cloutier snap called him from the big blind with 10 10. Jones sheepishly turned over 5 3 and the board offered him no help, running out A Q 7 3 9. Cloutier is now sitting on 455,000. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier, Justin Jones T.J. Cloutier Busts Two With Aces Full Aug 05, '12 Two players were all-in in front of T.J. Cloutier, who quickly announced that he was all-in himself and revealed AA having both opponents covered. Billy Rodgers had shoved with 65 and Kasra Khodayarkhani behind him with JJ. The flop fell 722, which kept Cloutier in the lead. The 3 on the turn also changed nothing. The excitement came on the river, when the A hit the felt. Rodgers seemed to think for at least a split second that he had tripled up with a flush, before T.J. announced, “Aces full! Allright!” Cloutier stacked the pile of chips, increasing his stack to 375,000. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier T.J. Gets Extremely Unlucky To Chop Aug 06, '12 T.J. Cloutier raised to 38,000 and Maxx Dansky made the call from the cutoff. Val Wood then moved all in for 180,000 on the button and Cloutier isolated all in from early position for his last 613,000. Dansky wasn’t going anywhere, however, and called the all in with 9 9. Wood showed K Q and Cloutier was streets ahead with Q Q. The board fell 7 6 5 3 4, however, and all three players took back their bets. Brutal. Player Tags: T.J. Cloutier, Val Wood, Maxx Dansky View All Live Updates From This Event
