Clarke Doubles Through the Chip Leader
Level 31
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The action folded all the way to Marlon Laxamana in the small blind and he limped in, Patrick Clarke checked his option to the 10♥10♣2♣ flop. Laxamana bet 25,000 and called a raise to 75,000 before the K♣ followed on the turn.
Laxamana now check-called a bet of 225,000 to then declare all-in on the 3♥ river. Clarke verified with the dealer that his table neighbour had gone all-in and instantly called within the same motion thereafter.
Clarke tabled his 2♠2♦ for the flopped full house and Laxamana's A♣7♣ for the ace-high flush was no good.
