{8-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

heads-up. Marcacci checked and Nicholson moved all in for 510,000. Marcacci thought for about a minute before finally calling. The players showed:

Marcacci: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

Nicholson: {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

The turn came the {8-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

on the river was no help for Marcacci and Nicholson doubled through him.
