Marafioti Flops a Double Up

Tom Marchese opened the pot in late position, and a reraising war left Matt Marafioti all in for 337,000 in the small blind. And he was in bad shape:

Marchese: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Marafioti: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

Marafioti was dominated, but things would improve in a hurry. The flop came {Q-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} to give him a big lead and leave him needing only to fade running cards to survive. The turn {7-Hearts} and river {9-Hearts} improved him even further, and Marafioti flushes his way to a big double up. That puts him at 694,000, knocking Marchese back down a peg to 873,000.
