Marcu Doubles Before Dinner, Still Busts
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Robert Marcu had open-raised on the button when he called big blind Oliver Tot's three-bet to 42,000. Tot put his opponent all in for 27,000 on the A♦4♦8♥ flop, and Marcu called for his tournament life.
Robert Marcu: Q♣9♥9♦8♠
Oliver Tot: K♣Q♦J♦10♣
Tot's flush draw missed on the 4♠ turn and Q♥ river, while Marcu made queens and eights to rake in the pot and double up. However, Marcu's fortune was short-lived as he became the final elimination before dinner mere minutes later.
