Salhab Doubles Through Clayton

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, Tom Clayton let out with a bet of 10,000. Budway Salhab made it 25,000 to go and Clayton replied by three-betting all in. Salhab called for his tournament life and the hands were turned over:

Salhab: {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Clayton: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

Salhab was ahead at the moment with top two pair, but Clayton had a boatload of outs with any diamond, ace, or four giving him a better hand. Much to Salhab's delight, the turn was the {Q-Spades}, giving him a full house of queens full of tens and extending his lead even further. The {9-Clubs} on the river failed to give Clayton a bigger full house and Salhab secured a double up to about 135,000 total.
