Big Call Propels Marquis

Shamus

On the last, lengthy hand of the night over at Table #15, Larry Wright raised to 28,000, Craig Marquis called, and Markus Feurle raised to 90,000. Wright called, as did Marquis.

The flop came {5-Spades}

. Wright bet 100,000, Marquis called, and Feurle folded.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}

. Wright bet 150,000 this time, and Marquis again called.

The river was the {6-Spades}

. Wright pushed all in. Wright had Marquis well covered -- indeed Wright only had about 140,000 behind. He tanked for several minutes. "I don't know what to do," he said. "I'm never good here." More minutes passed. "I have 14 big blinds, that's not terrible," he said, indicating where he'd be if he folded.

Finally he decided to call. "I have jacks, you win," he said, turning over his {J-Spades}
