Jonathan Marrie Eliminated in 4th Place ($24,210)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Tam Ho opened to 65,000 on the button and saw Luc Bellerive three-bet to 225,000 from the small blind. Jonathan Marrie found a sweet spot to four-bet jam all-in for 541,000 and Ho folded. Bellerive took a moment before making the call.

Marrie: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Bellerive: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} giving Bellerive a flush draw, which the {8-Diamonds} on the turn completed. Marrie was drawing dead as the {7-Clubs} fell on the river and Marrie departed in fourth place.

On His Marrie Way to a Comeback

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Jonathan Marrie moved all-in from the hijack for 151,000 and action folded to Ha Van Nguyen in the big blind. He asked for a count and Marrie said "Gamble gamble", to which Nguyen replied, "I don't wanna double you up!" "Or you wanna bust me" responded Marrie. "I don't like to bust people. It's not my style."

Eventually, Nguyen called. Marrie tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades}, up against Nguyen's {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. "You have to call that. I have five bigs. I'm shoving with any ace" said Marrie.

The flop came {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Marrie flopped a flush draw, taking away one of Nguyen's tens as an out. The turn was the {k-Hearts} and Marrie locked up the pot. The dealer put out the insignificant {q-Spades} on the river and Marrie doubled through.

Nguyen Wins

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Tam Ho opened to 55,000 on the button and Ha Van Nguyen moved all-in for 236,000 from the big blind. Ho asked for a count and eventually called.

Nguyen tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, at risk against Ho's dominated {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

"Deuce come" said Ho. "Queen come!" exclaimed Nguyen.

Unfortunately for Ho, but fortunately for Nguyen, neither came as the dealer completed a board reading {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Nguyen held on to double-up.
