MartianNews

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action folded around to Joseph Grusel who moved all in, Robert Marsh woke up with a monster and instantly called for just a little bit less.

Marsh turned over his two queens and was well ahead of the ace-seven of Grusel until the flop came down with two aces, giving Grusel the lead with three of a kind. The board ran out dry as Grusel pulled in the pot, eliminating Marsh from the tournament.
