: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
We just witnessed a five-way raised pot, a rarity at this stage of a tournament, which turned into a frigid cooler on the flop.
A player raised to 8,500 from middle position, then Scott Clements flat called, the button called behind him, and both blinds called as well. The dealer rolled out 
for the flop, and action checked to Clements who bet 21,500. The button flat called, but then the small blind raised to 85,000. Everyone folded to the button, who thought for a moment before raising all-in. The small blind called instantly, but was disappointed when the hands were turned over. He held 
for middle set, but his opponent held 
for top set. The turn and river were the 
and 
, and the button more than doubled up with his set of fives.
