Clarke Hits Miracle River to Knockout Opponent
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
All the chips went into the middle preflop after the early-position player five-bet all in for 785,000 which was called by Patrick Clarke in the cutoff.
Early Position: A♥A♦
Patrick Clarke: K♣K♥
Clarke was in rough shape. There was no help with the first four community cards of 10♣8♥2♣J♥, but the K♦ on the river gave Clarke a set to the disbelief of the early-position player who threw their sunglasses high in the air which landed in a tablemate's lap.
Clarke dragged in a gigantic pot and the early position player dejectedly headed to the cash desk.
