Fenech Takes a Punch

[user67765]

Van Marcus raised to 250 from middle position and received three callers to see a flop of {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

.

Marcus fired a continuation bet of 600 before Antonio Casale made it 1,200 from the hijack. Jeff Fenech overcalled on the button, the small blind folded and Marcus also made the call.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

and play checked to Casale who fired 3,000. Fenech snap-called as Marcus thought for a long time before releasing as the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

hit the river. Both players checked the river as Fenech tabled {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

but it wasn't enough to beat Casale's {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

.

Casale moves up to 26,800 with Fenech down to 16,700.
