Clash of the Titans
Dewey Tomko, ye formidable poker foe of old, was on the button. Realizing he had the advantage of position, he strategically raised 3,000. Not too be bullied, Van Marcus, defender of the big blind, reraised to 10,000. Not one to back down from a gentleman's duel, Tomko made the call.
Spectators watched in bedazzlement as the flop came down 
. Marcus, much like the former emperor of Rome, Marcus Aurelius, courageously took the fight to his opponent with a bet of 11,000. Tomko, who had more chips than Marcus, valiantly stared down his opponent and uttered the most dreaded words in poker, "All in."
It was at this point Marcus realized he was up against a true legend. Tomko, who has had such success in past Main Events, was to be the victor this day. Marcus admitted defeat and honorably laid down his hand. In the process, he kept 17,000 in reserve while Tomko bolstered his stack to 65,000.
