Catching the action in a four-way pot on a flop of 6♥4♦Q♦. After two checks, Austin Marks bet 5,500 from early position with only Allan Le calling from middle position.

Allan Le: A♠J♥5♦2♣
Marks just needed a clean river to double-up. The 9♣ fell on the river, which didn't improve Le, and Marks stayed in the tournament.
