Van Marcus Eliminated in 10th Place ($2,663)

Van Marcus - 10th Place
Van Marcus - 10th Place
In the small blind and first to enter the pot, Michael Palti shipped it all in. Van Marcus made the instant call from the big blind, holding 45,000 chips and finding himself all in for his tournament life.

Showdown:
Palti: {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
Marcus: {K-Spades} {5-Spades}

Right in the door came a dooming card for Marcus, as the flop rolled out {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {9-Hearts}. The turn was the {3-Clubs}, and the river was the last card Marcus will see tonight -- the {9-Clubs}. Palti's pair of tens is the winner, and he eliminates the dangerous Van Marcus from the field.
