The well-merited Philip Clarke minraised to 32,000 from UTG+1. Seated right next to him, Abdul Mukit moved all in for 327,000. Action eventually came back to Clarke, who leaned back in his chair and did the math in his head for perhaps two minutes before making the call.

Abdul Mukit: J♣J♦
Philip Clarke: 9♣9♠

Mukit was looking good for a double-up. No nine or any other help for Clarke as the board spelled out A♥A♠2♣3♦7♠, and he lost the bigger chunk of his stack to Mukit.

Abdul Mukit: 704,000
Philip Clarke: 108,000
