Marion's a Beast

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

From middle position, NBA-star Shawn Marion opened the pot with a raise to 225. The big blind called and the two players saw a flop heads up.

The dealer spread out the {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and both players checked. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and this time his opponent fired out 300. Marion called and the river was the {7-Spades}. His opponent bet 400 this time but found a raise from Marion to 1,400. After some thought, the opponent reluctantly called.

Marion tabled {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a full house. A player to his right joked, "He's a beast at this table!" We're pretty sure Shawn Marion is a beast everywhere. He now has 7,000 chips.
