Gordon Back on Top

In a development that is sure to disappoint the forum community, Phil Gordon is back on top of Tom Marchese, 30,000 to 20,000. The two players got the chips in pre-flop on a flip, Gordon's {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} against Marchese's {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Gordon flopped a set, {4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, but it's rarely that easy in hold'em. Marchese had an inside straight draw and picked up flush outs with the {3-Hearts} turn. The river {q-Spades} did not improve Marchese to the winning hand. The match rolls on.
