Marchese Chips Up

Talal Shakerchi kicked things off with a raise to 140,000 from middle position, and it was folded to Tom Marchese in the small blind. Marchese three-bet to 450,000 and Shakerchi made the call.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Spades} and Marchese bet 325,000. Shakerchi put in the call, and the turn was the {4-Clubs}.

Marchese checked the turn after which his opponent fired out a 630,000 chip bet. Marchese called.

The river was the {J-Clubs} and Marchese lead out for 1.6 million. Shakerchi snap-folded his cards, and Marchese is now close to having twice the starting stack.
