Marquardt Loses Classic Race
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Joshua Marquardt had his chips in the middle preflop against Hao Tian, who had him covered as players flipped their cards.
Joshua Marquardt: Q♥Q♦
Hao Tian: A♣K♣
It was the most classic of races. Tian needed to find a pair, and he didn't wait long, flopping a pair of aces on the 7♥A♥J♦ flop. The 6♠ turn and 8♠ river completed the runout. Tian held and Marquardt was sent to the rail.
