The Extravagant Duel Between Reynolds and Marchese

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Tom Marchese on the button and he merrily raised to 11,000. William Reynolds, who is a gentleman in his own right, gracefully moved all in for 68,500. Marchese accepted the challenge and the cards were revealed to the interested spectators.

Marchese: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Reynolds: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}

Reynolds was no doubt crestfallen to discover the pickle he'd gotten himself into. Indeed, it wasn't until the flop fell {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} that Reynolds breathed a sigh of relief, comforted in the knowledge he had improved to the best hand. All was not lost for Marchese however, that is until the {J-Clubs} plopped down on the turn. Marchese was "drawing dead" as they say and the regal Reynolds doubled to 143,000. Marchese dropped a teeny bit to 320,000.
