First, Marcus ran QsQh into John Restrepo’s AdAs. Restrepo’s aces held up, giving him a double to about 610,000. The following hand, Marcus opened to 75,000 from middle position, Andjelko Andrejevic three-bet shoved for about 240,000 from the cutoff, and Marcus called.

This time Marcus had 10d10s, but Andrejevic tabled AsAh and held up through the 6sJc3d9c7s runout.

John Restrepo – 610,000 (50 bb)
Andjelko Andrejevic – 510,000 (42 bb)
