The small blind completed and the big blind put in a raise, exercising his option to the price of 2,300. Marcus shoved in for 10,650, the ol' limp-reraise play. Everyone folded back to the big blind and he quickly called, tabling the

Andrew Hinrichsen opened to 750 from early position and was three-bet by a player in the hijack to 2,500.
The player in the big blind made the call, as did Hinrichsen, to see a 
flop fall.
Once the big blind checked, Hinrichsen led out for 4,500 only to have the original raiser go deep into the tank for three minutes before moving all in for 26,175.
The big blind took his time before folding, only to have the action return to Hinrichsen. He quickly flashed his
