Event 23: Richard Marchese Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,513)

Richard Marchese - 8th Place
Richard Marchese - 8th Place

Richard Marchese's tournament just came to an end after his {q-Spades}{10-Spades} failed to run down the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} tabled by Walt White.

The flop brought a bit of drama to the proceedings though, coming {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to give Marchese an up-and-down straight draw and spade flush outs, but the turn ({2-Diamonds}) and the river ({8-Clubs}) were the definition of blanks, sending Marchese to the rail with an eighth place finish.

Marchese may have busted on this hand, but the real dagger for him came when he flopped trips holding {k-}{5-} on the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board. Although he flopped a monster, Alan Colon held a heart flush draw with {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and while the turn ({j-Spades}) failed to deliver, the river came ({2-Hearts}) to dash Marchese's hopes of a win here tonight.
