Marquez Doubles Up

Players in today's event really love those suited connectors. Mike Marquez got the reaminder of his 23,000-chip stack in preflop and was called by big-stacked Kevin MacPhee. MacPhee had {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}; Marquez showed {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. Marquez flopped an open-ended straight draw against MacPhee's middle pair on a board of {2-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. The turn {Q-Diamonds} gave him a flush draw to go along with it. The flush draw filled when the river came {6-Diamonds}, doubling Marquez up to about 48,000.
