Big Slick Doesn't Do the Trick for Bubble Boy Ben Marsh

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Well, it didn't take long for the bubble to burst.

It happened when David Gutfreund opened for 23,000 from early position and Igor Balaban three-bet to 40,000. When action reached Ben Marsh on the button, he four-bet jammed for 141,000, and Gutfreund shoved all in over the top, which inspired Balaban to fold.

Marsh: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Gutfreund: {a-}{a-}

Marsh was in big trouble, and it got even worse when Gutfreund flopped a full house on the {a-}{q-}{q-} flop. However, a third {Q-} on the turn meant Marsh could chop if the fourth lady appeared on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as a blank peeled off.
