Clemente Doubles through Paredes

It was another three-way pot for our final table of eight. Tom Marchese opened from under the gun with a raise to 140,000. Daniel Clemente called in middle position. All others folded to big blind David Paredes. He also called, creating a pot of roughly 450,000 chips.

We didn't expect much action on a flop of {5-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {4-Spades} but action is what we got. Paredes checked to the pre-flop raiser, Marchese, who made a small-ish bet of 195,000. Clemente quickly raised that bet to 550,000; Paredes re-raised all in. Marchese got out of the way, allowing Clemente to put the rest of his chips on the line. He was the player all in and at risk of elimination.

Clemente: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}
Paredes: {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Clemente showed down a pair of aces and was in good shape against Paredes' pair and gutshot draw. The board bricked off {2-Spades} and {5-Spades}, giving Clemente the double-up. He popped out of his chair to go give a high-five to one of his railbirds.
