Blenkarn Doubles Through Marckx

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After a very cautious start at both tables full of hands ending preflop, we finally had some action. Jeff Blenkarn raised to 48,000 from late position and Michael Marckx moved all in from the button with the superior stack. Blenkarn called off for 296,000 total and it was a flip:

Blenkarn: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Marckx: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs} board meant Blenkarn's nines were best, throwing Marckx to the bottom of the chip counts.
