Clarke Straightened Out

[user46298]
[user46298]
Gary Clarke, at one point up to the dizzy heights of 40,000, has had his now short stack ironed out by Sean Donaldson. Raising on the button to 1,500, Donaldson made it 4,500 and couldn't really fold (despite thinking for a while,) when the 4,625 Clarke had left went in. He held {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} up against Clarke's {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} .

The flop brought a wince from the bespectacled young Irishman - {7-Spades} {K-Spades} {9-Spades} and the straight filled with the {J-Spades} turn sending him to the rail.
