Van Marcus - 3rd Place

Blinds are high. Van Marcus picked a hand and went with it. When Martin Rowe opened the pot for 6,000, Marcus jammed from the big blind. Rowe quickly called.

Rowe: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

Marcus:

{K-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

The

{5-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{A-Spades}

flop hit both players, making top pair for Rowe and the nut flush draw for Marcus. The draw never came -- not surprising, since Marcus used up about a year's worth of good draws en route to winning APPT Manila. He was eliminated on the bubble after the turn and river fell {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

and

{2-Hearts}

.

As a result, Vanessa Rousso's and Rowe's charities are guaranteed to receive a donation.
