Clemente Doubles through Paredes
We didn't expect much action on a flop of but action is what we got. Paredes checked to the pre-flop raiser, Marchese, who made a small-ish bet of 195,000. Clemente quickly raised that bet to 550,000; Paredes re-raised all in. Marchese got out of the way, allowing Clemente to put the rest of his chips on the line. He was the player all in and at risk of elimination.
