Richard Marchese's tournament just came to an end after his 
failed to run down the 
tabled by Walt White.
The flop brought a bit of drama to the proceedings though, coming 
to give Marchese an up-and-down straight draw and spade flush outs, but the turn (
) and the river (
) were the definition of blanks, sending Marchese to the rail with an eighth place finish.
Marchese may have busted on this hand, but the real dagger for him came when he flopped trips holding 
on the

, and while the turn (
) failed to deliver, the river came (
) to dash Marchese's hopes of a win here tonight.
