First Blood

With the tables newly redrawn, Craig Marquis raised to 300,000 from late position and David Rheem reraised to 900,000 from the cutoff. Marquis called and they saw a {9-Spades} {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} flop. Marquis fired out for 800,000 and Rheem raised to 1.8 million. Marquis brought out the lumber and moved all in and got Rheem to lay down his hand. Craig is now up to 11.5 million while Rheem fell to 6.6 million.
