Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Ognyan Dimov
Ognyan Dimov

Patrick Clarke raised to 250,000 from middle position with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and saw Ognyan Dimov three-bet to 750,000 in the next seat with {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. The rest of the table folded and Clarke called to see a {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop.

Clarke opted to check-call a 450,000 bet from Dimov, with the turn card coming the {7-Diamonds}. Clarke checked again, and Dimov continued his aggression with a 1m bet.

Clarke didn't need much time to think and folded as Dimov collected the pot and became the new chip leader.
