Marotta Sails Up With Sixes

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Nino Marotta scored his first and only (so far) major cash of his poker career here at the Aussie Millions when he final tabled the Main Event in 2008 - before bowing out in fifth place.

More recently however, Marotta found himself on the winning side of a four-bet pot when he four-bet shoved (after opening) from the hi-jack for his last 16,400 against fellow tournament veteran Jim Mastorakos.

Marotta: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Mastorakos: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{J-Hearts} to see Marotta's small pair hold up as he soared to over 33,000 while Mastorakos was just left with enough to post a blind.
