Skies Dark for Clark

Tony Clark, who had been up over 200,000 today, was just involved in a huge pot that's probably going to change the way he feels about how Day 2 went.

A middle-position player raised to 6,000, the player on the button called, then Clark reraised to 30,000 from the big blind. The original raiser then pushed all in for 116,000 more, and Clark made the call.

Clark showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and his opponent turned over {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. What seemed a bright spot for Clark suddenly turned dim after the flop came {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and the river the {6-Clubs}, and Clark is down to 48,000.
