Hand #38: Patrick Clarke raised to 4 million under the gun and Mark Radoja jammed his 51.7 million from the small blind. Unfortunately for him, he ran with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} into {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

"Come on, man! Hold it!" he shouted.

The {6-Diamonds} turn and {4-Clubs} river changed nothing and Radoja scored a massive double.

"F*** yes, let's go!" Radoja celebrated.
