Miststep By Marquez Doubles Riley

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Lawrence Riley decided to risk his tournament life and shoved all in for his last 150,000 or so in chips. Anna Marquez thought it over for a few seconds before making the call and showing down {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and hoping for a coin flip.

Unfortunately for Marquez, Riley held {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Marquez would need to spike an eight or a miraculous board of straight or flush cards to take the pot.

The dealer revealed a final board of {4-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Riley's jacks held up, padding his stack while crippling Marquez in the process.
