Craig Marquis Doubles Through Aaron Gordon

Craig Marquis
Craig Marquis
Craig Marquis and Aaron Gordon saw a flop of {A-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} with two other players. The two got into a raising war that resulted in Marquis's tournament life hanging in the balance. He was all in against Aaron Gordon and the players showed:

Marquis: {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
Gordon: {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}

It was two pair against two pair with Marquis having the edge. The turn sealed the deal as it came the {6-Diamonds} and Marquis doubled to just over 6,100,000. Gordon was left with about 1,250,000 after the hand.
