Marchetti Carves Up Jaros

Matt Warburton

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Antony Marchetti raised from late position and Patrik Jaros reraised to 290,000 from the big blind. Marchetti responded with a four-bet all in and Jaros made the call. Players flipped their cards, with Jaros at risk.

Patrik Jaros: A♦10♥
Antony Marchetti: A♠K♦

The board ran out 8♦J♦6♥3♥6♣. Neither player improved and so Marchetti held with ace-king high. Jaros, who was the Day 1b chip leader and one of the Day 2 chip leaders just hours ago, was eliminated from the tournament.
