Marcus Plays It Slow
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Van Marcus raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Mathias Duarte defended his big blind.
Both players checked to the river on a board of 10♥10♠J♣2♠7♥ when Duarte led out for 300,000.
Marcus snap-called and turned over K♣K♥ for two pair. Duarte's cards quickly hit the muck as Marcus raked in another pot.
"I played it that way so I can call," Marcus said.
