Marquez is Another Candidate for the Chip Lead

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Richard Marquez just busted a player in a big four-way pot that ended with an all in between Marquez and another player.

Four players, with Marquez, Uri Gilboa, and Seungmin Kang among them, saw the flop coming {6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and they all checked.

The {4-Diamonds} on the turn brought some fireworks, even though it didn't look as such a card at first. Richard Marquez bet 12,000, Gilboa called, and the third player announced all in for 58,000 in chips.

Kang folded, Marquez put all his chips in the middle too, and the two players opened their cards after Gilboa's fold.

Marquez: {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{5-Spades}

A semi-bluff for Marquez's opponent that didn't end up well, since the {k-Diamonds} on the river sent him on the rail. Meanwhile, Marquez is up to 260,000 in chips.
