[user66118]

From the cutoff seat, Van Marcus moved all in for 16,500 chips holding {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

. Next to him, Farhad Kia made the call with his big stack, tabling {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{J-Spades}

.

The flop came safe for Marcus, as it showed up {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

. The

{A-Spades}

on the turn provided a little bit of a sweat as Kia picked up a flush draw. He missed the river though, and the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

meant Van Marcus would earn a much-needed double up. He is sitting on just under 45,000 now, while Kia has taken a step back to 190,000.
