Big Hand Van

On one of the first hands at the final table our chip leader Phillip Willcocks raised to 30,000 from early position. Now, it wouldn't have been suprising if the players opted to stay out of the way of the monsterous chip stack held by Phillip Willcocks, but when action came to Julius Colman he had different ideas, popping it to 80,000 from the hi-jack seat.

Action then folded around to Van Marcus and he went into the tank as the excitement around the rail is already building. Marcus announced he was all-in and Willcocks got away out of the way, whereby Colman made the snap-call.

Julius Colman: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Van Marcus: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

A massive hand for Marcus, and as the board ran out {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} he took the early double-up to put himself in great position, while Colman now finds himself in trouble.
