Marquis Moving On Up

Craig Marquis
Craig Marquis
Craig Marquis opened with a raise to 80,000 from the button with Jamal Sawaqdeh making the call from the big blind.

Marquis fired bets on the flop and turn, before both players checked the river on a board of {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Marquis revealed {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to take it down as Sawaqdeh flashed {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for a busted flush draw.

Sawaqdeh is now on the short stack while Marquis is up to over 2.2 million.
