Clarke Chipping Up
James Clarke is up over 50 million in chips after James Romero looked him up on the river with ace high, Clarke’s [4h6h] big blind defend having come good. Romero, the preflop raiser with [acqh], had missed a flop and turn on a [2d4cjh8d] board (18 million in the pot reflecting Romero’s called flop bet), and checked back at this point. On the [9c] river, Clarke led for 5,500,000 and Romero looked him up with ace high – no good vs. a pair of fours.
