Gordon Screws Up My Diamonds Bracket Mini-Recap; Eliminates Marchese
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
I was all set to write a Diamond Bracket mini-recap that trumpeted the youth movement, and how each of the match-ups that pitted a "veteran" against a "young player" ended with the vet's elimination. Then Phil Gordon threw a wrench in the works by overcoming Tom Marchese.
In a limped pot, Marchese check-raised all in after Gordon led a 
flop. Gordon called. The two had to wait more than five minutes due to action around the rest of the room before the rest of their hand played out. When a camera crew finally materialized, Gordon's 
, two pair, led Marchese's flush draw, 
. Marchese didn't get there on the turn 
or the river 
.
Marchese'e elimination resulted in a lot of swearing and deleting from the media table. Gordon, meanwhile, will return tomorrow for the Round of 32.
