Clarke Mclovin It

With three players to the turn of the {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} {5-Hearts} {Q-Spades} board and 5,000 in the pot already, it checked around to Ali Mallu on the button, who made a bet. The gentleman on the big blind folded, but Gary "Mclovin" Clarke from the under the gun position raised. Mallu called, the big blind folded, and they were heads up to the river.

River: {10-Hearts}

Clarke bet out 3,300, but Mallu quietly pushed his whole stack across the line, which well covered Clarke. After a moment's thought, Clarke called.

"You win, I missed," announced Mallu immediately. And duly Clarke turned over {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}. Mallu mucked.

Clarke: 30,000
Mallu: 9,500
