Van Marcus
Van Marcus
Van Marcus' new-found chips are giving him some ammunition to fire at pots. After Cliff Josephy opened for 70,000 and was called by Sorel Mizzi, Marcus called a pot-sized reraise (316,000 by our gorilla math). Josephy and Mizzi quickly folded.

The action developed very quickly between Van Marcus and Samuel Ngai. Marcus opened with a pot-sized raise to 84,000. Ngai was next to act and called "re-pot", which was enough to put himself all in. All other passed to Marcus, who quickly called.

Marcus: {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts}
Ngai: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

Single-suited aces for Marcus against single-suited kings for Ngai. The board rolled out a relatively benign {J-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {j-Clubs}. Marcus dragged the pot with jacks full of aces; Ngai headed for the cage to collect $43,539.
