Set Over Set Rockets Clarke to the Top
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nikolai Tulin raised to 4,500 from early position and received two callers before Patrick Clarke three-bet to 18,000 in the small blind. Tulin called, as did the button.
The flop came 
and Clarke continued for 30,000. Only Tulin called to see the 
on the turn.
Clarke bet another 80,000 and Tulin moved all in. Clarke snap-called for his last 176,000 and showed 
for a set of tens. Tulin shot up from his seat and slammed down 
for a set of sevens.
The river came the 
and Clarke doubled up in the massive pot to jump into contention for the chip lead.
