Marchand Marching Along

A short while ago, Dan Marchand was involved in a hand against Henrik Lennholm. Started out as one of those seemingly innocuous blind-vs.-blind hands, but erupted into something more significant when we all learned that Marchand had pocket aces and Lennholm pocket kings. Marchand's aces held up on that one, and he pushed up to 110,000. Lennholm fell back to 50,000.

Marchand has chipped up further since then and now sits with 160,000 in chips. An Englishman from Bristol, Marchand won his seat to the Main Event through Pokeroom, and has definitely enjoyed his first trip to Vegas and the WSOP.
