Marcus Takes Chip Lead

[user80015]

Stud:

After bringing in for four of the eight hands during his table's stud orbit, Van Marcus finally gets one back.

With the {2-Spades}

up he brought in for 400 and Kerry Stead completed to 1,000 showing the {K-Diamonds}

. Marcus called and then called a bet on fourth street before raising fifth and leading the betting from then on. Both of their boards read:

Marcus: x-x / {2-Spades}

Stead: x-x / {K-Diamonds}

Stead sat in the tank for close to a minute before calling the 2,000, and quickly mucked his three down cards when Marcus tabled {A-Clubs}

for his hole cards and a dangling {K-Hearts}

for seventh to take the pot with aces-up.

As Marcus raked in the pot sending him up to over 41,000, tablemate Andrew Demetriou stated, "What a hand! . . . That hand could be worth thirty-grand" (in reference to the first prize of AU$30,380).

Marcus responded with, "Or it could be worth nothing" as both players laughed it out as the game changed to stud hi/lo.
