Marchese Straightens Out Opponent

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and roughly 4,000 in the pot, Tom Marchese was faced with a bet of 2,300 from his lone opponent.

Marchese upped the ante by raising the action to 12,000 to effectively put his opponent all in.

After nearly three minutes of deliberation, Marchese's opponent made the call, but would muck at the sight of Marchese's {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a straight as he moves to just under 30,000 in chips.
