Bradley Beetz: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Last Break of the Night

Players are off on their final fifteen-minute break of the evening. When they return, they'll play until either 27 players remain, or until 9:46 remain in Level 14 (1,500/3,000/3,000), whichever comes first.

Marshall Continues to Climb

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

John Marshall raised to 10,000 preflop from early position, and Chris Cornell three-bet to 30,000 on the button. Marshall four-bet shoved for 60,000 effective and Cornell quickly called.

John Marshall: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Chris Cornell: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Cornell found a queen on the {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop, but Marshall was still live with a Broadway draw or a king for the knockout. The {3-Spades} turn was a brick, but Marshall would not be denied on the {k-Clubs} river, and he added another knockout to his belt.
