Tanita Doubles Into the Chip Lead
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Scott Clements raised to 24,000 from early position and was called by Tsz Shing from directly behind. Robert Tanita called from the small blind and Jonathan Cohen also called in the big blind.
Action checked to Clements on the K♦6♦A♥ flop and he continued for 80,000. Shing folded, but Tanita announced a pot-sized check-raise to 344,000. Cohen folded and Clements called.
Tanita shoved for his remaining stack on the 2♣ turn and Clements quickly called to put him at risk.
Robert Tanita: A♦Q♣10♦5♥ 
Scott Clements: K♣K♠J♣10♣
Clements was ahead with his set, but the J♠ river improved Tanita to Broadway to double up in the monster pot.
