Marcus Not Done Yet

[user75032]

Just minutes after his last victory, Van Marcus was involved in the biggest hand of the day so far. Tasha Ellis opened the preflop betting with a raise to 1,700 that Marcus reraised to 5,000 from the small blind. Ellis called, and the two players took a flop of {3-Hearts}

. Marcus, as first to act, made it 7,000 to go. Ellis called.

Both players checked the turn {9-Diamonds}

. The river {9-Clubs}

paired the board and brought an all-in bet from Marcus of 24,100. Ellis went deep into the tank, staring at the board without any indication of what to do. She was in the tank for at least three or four minutes, long enough for every player at the table except Marcus and Ellis to get up and stretch their legs. Ellis finally made the call, with Marcus triumphantly turning over {A-Clubs}
