Ben Marsh Eliminated in 4th Place ($23,750)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Ben Marsh - 4th Place
Ben Marsh - 4th Place

Derek Lesniak opened to 105,000. Ben Marsh shoved all in on the button for 980,000, and Peixin Liu called the all-in from the big blind. Lesniak agonized over the decision but ended up folding his hand.

Marsh: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Liu: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}, giving Marsh the lead with his pair of queens. But the {k-Hearts} on the turn gave Liu the straight.

"I need a jack here," said Marsh.

But it was the {a-Hearts} that came on the river.

Lesniak said, "I folded a monster too. Ace-king."

Liu's straight would win the hand, and Marsh was eliminated in 4th place, taking home $23,750.
