Move by Marques With Five-Trey

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Mark Buckley raised to 260,000 with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} in middle position and Piotr Nurzynski called in the cutoff with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, Pedro Marques in the big blind gave it some thought and used one time bank with his {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

Marques three-bet to 1.18 million and Buckley quickly got out of the way. Nurzynski let his shot clock run down to a few seconds and announced the call.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Marques checked, Nurzynski opted to check behind. There was no betting action on the {6-Diamonds} turn either and the {2-Spades} river was checked by Marques. Nurzynski bet 500,000 with a nervous handshake and Marques folded.
