Double Elimination for Marchese

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Tom Marchese was in middle position when he threw in a standard raise. Nick Mitchell then moved all in from the hijack followed by Anthony Spinella in the big blind. When action was back on Marchese, who had both players covered, he made the call.

Marchese: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Mitchell: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Spinella: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Marchese held the best hand and was looking to dodge an ace and seven. He did just that on the {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop; however, Mitchell picked up a bunch of outs to a straight. The {2-Spades} turn was a safe card for Marchese and it was down to the river. The dealer burned and put up the {K-Spades}! Marchese's queens held and he managed to eliminate two opponents while increasing his own stack to around 460,000.
