Clemons Continues to Surge
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jeremy Clemons opened with a raise preflop to 16,000 from early position and was called by Long Hoang on the button.
The flop came 5♣5♥3♦, which caused fireworks as Clemons and Hoang got the chips in on the flop with Clemons at risk for 112,000.
Jeremy Clemons: A♣A♦
Long Hoang: A♠3♠
Clemons was well ahead with his pocket aces and needed to fade a three to stay alive.
The K♣ turn and the 4♣ river provided no drama as Clemons chipped up once again as he has began to gain a foothold here on Day 2.
