Marques Seizes Chip Lead in Huge Clash with Vousden

In the final hand of the previous level, Andre "PTFisherman23" Marques raised to 7,350 from under the gun and faced a three-bet from Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden in the hijack. The amount was 24,500 chips and Marques made the call.

The flop fanned out 5♥6♦10♦ and Marques proceeded to check-call a 24,500 bet from Vousden. Vousden then upped the ante on the 2♥ turn to 105,000, close to a pot-sized bet. Marques opted to check-call again and the 2♠ river completed the board.

Marques checked for the third time and Vousden went all-in for 290,461. Marques dipped into his time bank, but eventually made the call, creating a pot of almost 900,000 chips.

Vousden showed K♣10♣ for two pair, but Marques' J♥J♦ narrowly beat it, resulting in Vousden's elimination and Marques securing the chip lead by a significant margin.
