Marcus in the Danger Zone

Van Marcus ran exceptionally well en route to winning APPT Manila, coming from way behind on at least six or seven different all-in situations over the course of the tournament. That hasn't carried over to this tournament. He raised to 15,000 after David St. Eloi opened for 1,500 from the cutoff. That was enough to put St. Eloi all in if he called, which he did. Marcus was ahead with {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} against St. Eloi's {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}, but the tables were turned on a flop of {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {5-Clubs}. Marcus wasn't able to come from behind this time (maybe because he wasn't the all-in player), as the board ran out {J-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}. St. Eloi doubled to about 30,000 while Marcus dropped to 11,600.
