Clarke Among the Latest Casualties
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
"You just missed a big one," Oren Haziza said as their table had received a face lift with two new players in Patrick Clarke and Gerardo Hernandez. However, the appearance of Irishman Clarke was short-lived as his pocket aces were cracked by the pocket jacks of big stack Neal Corcoran.
The next hand wasn't as big as Haziza opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Corcoran called, as did Abdullah Al-Shanti in the big blind. Al-Shanti check-folded the 5♥5♣2♠ flop to a bet of 100,000 by Haziza, while Corcoran called.
Haziza led the 5♦ turn for 275,000 and Corcoran folded.
