Clarke Gets There
Level 23
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Christopher Kruk opened the pot with a raise to 45,000 from early position and Ivan Banic in the hijack made the call. From the small blind, Patrick Clarke squeezed to 165,000 and the big blind and Kruk both folded. Banic made the call.
Both players checked on 
and the 
hit the turn. Clarke bet out 190,000 and Banic called. The 
on the river prompted Clarke to bet 385,000. Banic wasted not much time calling, but mucked upon seeing Clarke's 
for turned trips.
