Clinkscales On a Nub After Roller Coaster

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Rex Clinkscales made it 3,800 from middle position after Roberto Romanello put in an open to 1,400 on his right. Romanello came back with 8,900 and Clinkscales shipped it for a little over 26,000. Romanello called off.

Romanello: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Clinkscales: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop brought a flush draw for Romanello and he filled it right away with the {j-Spades} turn. Clinkscales had him covered by 1,600.

The American shoved that in next hand. The player on the button reshoved for what looked like about 9,000 and Kristen Bicknell woke up with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} in the big blind and put everyone at risk. Clinkscales had {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and the third player {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, giving Clinkscales the main pot with kings up and Bicknell the larger side pot.

After that hand finished up, Romanello told us that Clinkscales had already survived when he jammed over a button open by Romanello for 12,600 and won with {k-}{q-} against {a-}{a-}. The end of the roller coaster left Clinkscales with about 10 big blinds.
