Marcus Rockets Past One Million

[user67765]

Matt Graham raised it up to 130,000 before Van Marcus announced a pot-sized reraise. The action folded back to Graham who stood from his chair to assess the situation and discovered it an extra 335,000 to call.

Still standing, Graham cut down his chips and eyed his opponent before making the call.

The flop fell an innocent looking {5-Spades}

and Graham hesitated before betting 50,000 to put Marcus all in, and he immediately called.

Marcus: {A-Spades}

Graham:

Marcus had Graham crushed and when the turn and river bricked {4-Clubs}

,

, Marcus had survived another all in confrontation. He's now back up to over one million in chips.
