Oops Again

[user75032]

We had another "oops" moment at our final table. This one came courtesy of Daniel Clemente.

In a battle of the blinds, Tom Marchese opened with a raise to 390,000 that Clemente called. Marchese continued his story by betting 475,000 on a flop of {K-Spades}

. Clemente called again.

The turn fell {K-Hearts}

. Marchese bet 825,000, then snap-called after the larger-stacked Clemente moved all in. It was so bad, in fact, that after the reveal Clemente was only drawing to a chop.

Clemente: {Q-Spades}

Marchese:

If one of the two remaining kings fell on the river, the players would chop. Otherwise the pot was going to Marchese. He stood to await a harmless river, the {7-Clubs}
