Former WSOP Circuit Main Event Champ Flushed
In November of last year, Cary Marshall won the World Series of Poker Circuit Harveys Lake Tahoe Main Event for $139,260 after beating a 422-player field. Marshall was hoping for another title win here today, but his hopes were recently crushed by Cord Garcia.
It happened when Arkadiy Tsinis opened for 6,300 from early position and Marshall, who was next to act, moved all in for 35,200. Action folded around to Garcia in the big blind and he moved all in over the top, which prompted Tsinis to fold.

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Marshall had just a 23.82% chance of surviving the hand. That jumped to 55.56% when the flop paired his nine, though it did give Garcia a flush draw. The turn made Marshall a 70.45% favorite, but then the spiked on the river to give Cord a flush and the knockout.
Meanwhile, Brett Schwertley has also been eliminated from the tournament.
