Marcus Knocks Off Someone Shorter than Him

[user75032]

Van Marcus was in the big blind when a short stack moved all in without looking for 4,000. Marcus squeezed out {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

and decided to make the call. He was up against {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

. The flop was {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{J-Spades}

, making a pair of nines for Marcus but giving each man a gutshot to the same straight. The turn and river blanked safely for Marcus, {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and

{7-Hearts}

, letting him climb up to 20,000.
