Rice Races to 225k

Travis Rice has just double up through John Clancy to move to 225,000 in chips.

Rice opened the hand with a raise to 15,000 and was reraised by Clancy who made it a total of 48,000 to go. Rice then moved all in for approximately 115,000 total and Clancy made the call, setting up the following preflop showdown:

Clancy: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Rice: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

When the dealer spread the flop, Clancy could see the {Q-Diamonds} in the window and immediately said, "Nice hand." The other two flop cards were the {2-Clubs} and {3-Spades}.

The turn and river brought running kings and Rice took down the pot with two pair. Clancy dropped to 355,000 in chips in the loss.
