Marcus Misses Potential Double As Neilson Chops Top Two

Van Marcus in action
Van Marcus in action
Daniel Neilson opened to 1,050 from early position and was met with three callers - including Van Marcus on the button and Dennis Huntly from the big blind.

The flop fell down {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and following a check from Huntly, Neilson fired out 2,825 and was called in one spot before Marcus commented, "I could have gone broke with this hand" as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Huntly followed suit and both Neilson and his opponent checked the {J-Diamonds} on the turn to see the {9-Spades} land on the river and another check from Neilson follow.

His opponent mulled for a little before sliding out a bet of 3,200.

"Show me Ace-Queen or Queen-Jack" stated Neilson as he made the call, only to see the {A-Spades}{k-Clubs} of his opponent chop with his {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

"Wow . . . I had Jacks" stated Marcus as he shook his head in disbelief at a possible double or triple up.

"What were you smoking?" asked Huntly.

"Do you call my shove preflop?" directed Marcus towards Neilson.

Neilson looked Marcus' stack up and down before responding with the answer Marcus didn't really want to hear - yes!
