Tom Marchese opened to 55,000 from early position, and Olivier Busquet wanted to play for more. He three-bet to 155,000 straight on the button, and that sent the decision back to Marchese. After just a moment, he announced a covering all in, and now it was Busquet's turn to think it over. The French-American stared down Marchese for a minute before calling all in for his last devilish 666,000 total.
Showdown

Busquet:
The board ran out ... , and salvation comes on the river for Busquet. That timely queen has earned him a big double up back over the million-chip mark.
