Watts Takes out Marshall
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Steven Watts started the hand by opening to 100,000 from under the gun plus one. The action then folded around to Cary Marshall in the big blind, who tanked over his decision.
“If I’m going to do anything, it’s going to be all in. I can’t just call,” said Marshall.
Another minute passed, before Marshall moved all in for just over 500,000, and was snap called.
Watts: 
Marshall: 
Both players stood up from their chairs, and shook each other’s hands. Screams of “eight” and “ace or jack,” were coming from the rail, before the dealer showed the 
.
Marshall would need a jack or ace on the turn or river to double up. Unfortunately for him, it wasn’t to be as the 
and 
completed the board.
