Event 4: 9th Place - Marcus

$500 + $60 No Limit Hold'em   

On the turn with the board showing T 9 5 2, Sandip Patel was all-in for 117k.  Mike Dentale (bb) was in the tank, considering his action. 

Mike exposed his hand, 65 off, continued to consider his action, trying to chat up Sandip, checking the payouts, etc.  Eventually the clock was called and before his time expired, Mike called.

Sandip held QT for top pair.  River was a 4 and Sandip took the pot.

The clock ran out during that hand so now the blinds are up to 6k/12k with 2k antes.  Play continued.

After Ira Marcus raised, Mike Dentale moved all-in.  Ira called all-in, showing pocket Kings.  Mike held AQ.

The flop was an innocent 8 6 6, but then an Ace landed on the turn to give Mike the bigger pair.  River was a blank and Mike took the pot, chipping up to ~270k.

Ira Marcus (Austin, TX) finished in 9th place, earning $2,959.
