Marchese Makes it Look Easy

The money was all in the middle on a board that read {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts} and we got there as the cards were being tabled between German Marchese and another opponent:

Marchese: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Though Marchese had flopped trips, the opponent had made the king-high straight on the turn. However the dealer turned up a repeat {9-Spades} on the river, giving Marchese the full house!

That's the first player eliminated from the tournament and Marchese is the early chip leader, now up to 10,000 in chips.
