Pettitt, Clinkscales Battle for Table Supremacy
Mitch Pettitt and Rex Clinkscales have stacks that tower over the rest of their tablemates at table #48, and they just tangled together in a pot.
A player in middle position opened to 4,000 before Clinkscales called in the cutoff and Pettitt came along on the button.
The flop came 
and action checked to Pettitt, who bet 8,000. Only Clinkscales called to see the 
on the turn.
Clinkscales checked over to Pettitt again, and he assembled a bet of 22,000. This time Clinkscales quickly slid his cards into the muck.
Earlier, Pettitt was involved in a pot with pocket kings against pocket aces where both players flopped a set. Pettitt, though, spiked the last king on the river.
"See that," the player with the cracked aces said pointing to Pettitt's stack, "those should be all my chips."
