Fours Help Marques Sail to a Double-Up
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Pedro Marques raised to 2,000,000 on the button with just 1,900,000 behind. Jaehyung Park shoved from the small blind for 8,425,000, and after Paul Runcan folded in the big blind, Marques called for the rest of his stack.
Pedro Marques: 4♠4♣ 
Jaehyung Park: A♥K♣
If Park could hit an ace or king, then the EPT Prague Main Event would enter heads-up play. However, the board ran out 3♦9♠3♠8♣10♥, which was clean for Marques' Sailboats. Marques doubled up and Park was now the clear short stack.
