Dela Cruz Doubles Through Clarke
Level 32
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Four eliminations away from the conclusion of Day 2, the average stands at an incredible 45 big blinds but one hand is all it takes to shake up the leaderboard.
That's what happened to former chip leader Patrick Clarke, who suffered a setback when Ivan Dela Cruz earned a full double. In a battle of the blinds, Clarke's J♣10♣ flopped well on 10♠9♠9♣ but not quite good enough to beat the A♥9♦ of Dela Cruz on the 3♥ turn and 7♣ river runout. Dela Cruz doubled for 565,000 and Clarke dropped below a million.
