Van Marcus the Moose Hunter

[user24788]

An interesting hand developed on the bubble. Raemin "Jake the Moose" Alexander raised 5,000. Van Marcus re-raised to 14,500. Alexander called. The flop was {A-Diamonds}

. Alexander moved all in (he had Marcus covered) and Marcus called for his last 22,000.

Marcus: {10-Diamonds}

Alexander: {A-Clubs}

Marcus flopped two pair and was ahead. The turn was the {2-Spades}

and the river was the {9-Hearts}

. Marcus' hand held up and he doubled through Alexander. After that hand, Van Marcus increased his stack to over 80,000, while Alexander slipped to 60,000.

"What a luckbox," exclaimed Alexander as he walked away from the table in utter disgust.

"You're a f----g genius," Alexander said sarcastically when he returned to the table.

"That's right," quipped Van Marcus. "I am a genius. A genius with your chips."
