Michael Marvanek

Australian Michael Marvanek opened with a raise to 26,000 from the cutoff. Action then folded to big stack (and big bully) Vladimir Geshkenbein, who moved all in.

Marvanek made the call, tabling {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

-- a slight favorite against Geshkenbein's {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

.

Today wouldn't be Marvanek's day, however, as the board ran out {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

giving Geshkenbein a straight.

While Marvanek exited the tournament area one spot shot of reaching the unofficial final table, Geshkenbein stacked up 1,330,000 in chips -- still top dog in the room.
