Mark Eddelman

Just minutes after asking one of our reporters to keep track of his chip count, Mark Eddelman found himself faced with a large all-in bet as the board read {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

.

Eddelman stood from his chair and made the call, enthusiastically turning over pocket aces. His opponent turned over {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

. Eddelman's two pair was slightly better, winning him the hand and nearly doubling his starting chip stack to 38,000. His opponent was left with only 100 chips.
