Happy_Freaked

Tom Marchese has just moved on to the third round beating Todd Barlow. Marchese was kind enough to share with us the details of the biggest pot and the final hand.

On the 400/800 level Marchese raised to 1,600 from the button and Barlow called. The flop came down {Q-} {7-} {5-} with two spades and Barlow check-called 2,000. The turn was an {8-} and Barlow checked to Marchese who bet 3,500 and his opponent moved all in for around 16,000 chips. Marchese called with {Q-} {Q-} and Barlow was drawing dead with {7-} {8-} .

In the final hand Barlow had just 8,600 chips remaining and was put all in by Marchese. Barlow called with {7-} {7-} and Marchese spiked a king with his {K-} {6-} . Marchese will play the winner of the match between Kevin Saul and Ryan Fee.
