Yil Be Alright

Huseyin Yilmaz raises to 2,000 from early and only the other big stack of Thomas Marchese finds enough to call from the big blind before the flop comes {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

Marchese makes a casual looking check and Yilmaz does the same before the turn is dealt {7-Clubs} . Once again Marchese makes a casual limp wristed check but is met with 2,700 bet this time.

He makes the call and the final card comes {A-Hearts}. For the third time Marchese checks and Yilmaz checks too, not seemingly liking the ace.
We see why as he turns over {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and he sees he was beat before the river as Marchese shows {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs} for the pot.

Marchese up to 39,000, Yilmaz down to 23,000.
