Steve Morey Bubbles the $35,000 Championship
Level 30
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Steve Morey raised to 175,000 in the cutoff and Chad Marrocco called in the big blind.
Morey continued for 200,000 on the Q♥2♥5♦ flop, and Marrocco called. Both players then checked the 9♥ turn.
Marrocco also checked the 9♠ river, and Morey moved all in. Marrocco practically beat him into the pot and turned over Q♦Q♠ for a full house. Morey could only show J♦10♦ for a missed straight draw.
The stacks were counted down, and Marrocco had Morey's remaining 900,000 covered to earn him the massive pot.
Glenda Ricci and Jim Gardner were eliminated at the main feature table shortly before, and the remaining 16 players are now in the money.
