Hand #120 - Maor Feldinger

Brett Parise has the button in seat 4.

Van Marcus raises to 60,000 from UTG and Maor moves all-in from the big blind for 121,000. Van instantly calls and they table their hands.

Maor {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Marcus {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

With the board on the turn reading {Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{J-Spades} Marcus was looking good but the river {K-Clubs} brought raucous applause from the spectators and a second chance for Maor.

He now has over 250,000.

Van Marcus has the button in seat 9.

Maor Feldinger moves all-in from the cutoff for 34,000 and is called by Van Marcus on the button and Brett Parise in the big blind.

Marcus and Parise check down the board of {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Marcus shows {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Parise mucks but Maor's {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} triples him up to over 100,000.

The Van Marcus show.....

Van Marcus
Van Marcus
Van's experience is really starting to show on this final table. Since coming back from their dinner break, the players seem wary and are reluctant to see flops and put their chips at risk, resulting in players getting walks in their big blinds. Van has picked up on this and has adapted well, taking down pot after pot pre-flop, and has now just been paid off after flopping a huge hand and trapping Maor.

We caught up with Van before the final table today, check out the Video Gallery to see what he had to say.

Hand #115 - Van Marcus

Brett Parise has the button in seat 4.

Van Marcus raises UTG to 55,000 and Maor makes the call from the big blind.

The flop is {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and both players check.

Turn {9-Diamonds} and again they check.

River {4-Spades}
Maor leads out for 100,000 and Marcus moves all-in for an extra 313,000. Maor goes into the tank for almost five minutes, but when he finally announces call, Marcus stands from the table shouting "Yeah baby!" and slams {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} on the table.

Maor instantly mucks and Marcus picks up a massive pot.
