We got to the table with approximately 45,000 in the pot and a board of {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Rex Clinkscales checked to Mike Shammos who made a bet of 20,000. Clinkscales took a few moments before tossing in what appeared to be a reluctant call. Shammos said "fours" and turned over {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. A relieved Clinkscales turned over a set of fives with his {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and took in the nice pot with the gutsy call with four clubs on the board.

Clinkscales has $453,064 in lifetime reported tournament winnings with his biggest cash being $121,095 for winning a World Series of Poker Circuit ring back in May of 2013.
