Marion's Heating Up!

With exactly 6,150 in the pot and the flop reading {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, the big blind checked as a player fired out 3,500.

With the action on Shawn 'Matrix' Marion, he casually tossed in two orange 5,000-denomination chips while loudly announcing, "Ten thousand!"

The big blind instantly folded as the flop aggressor paused slightly before tossing his cards into the muck also.

Marion tabled his {6-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a flopped straight and collected the pot to move to a rather coincidental (since he played for the Phoenix Suns for a number of seasons as #31) 31,000 in chips.
