Leendert Marcus
Leendert Marcus

Dmitri Dan raised to 425,000 from under the gun with {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} which Leendert Marcus called with {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} in the small blind. Tomas Sujeta picked up {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} in the big blind and contemplated a bit before three-betting to 1,700,000. Dan folded and Marcus cut out calling chips before making the call.

The flop came {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for Sujeta to pick up the gutshot to a straight. Marcus looked at his cards once more and then bet 1,000,000. Sujeta looked at his stack, took some time, stared at the board before checking his cards once more, tanking for a bit longer and then folded.
