Both players checked on the 5? turn and then Marsh led out for 50,000 on the 4? river. Rodriguez let his hand go and Marsh added to his stack.

At another table, Marle Spragg was seen collecting the rest of Hussein Abud's chips. Abud held A?K? and Spragg held J?J? on a completed board of 2?7?8?8?3?.
