Newly Minted Marchese is in the House

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

Tom Marchese has a great big smile on his face and who can blame him. The WSOP schedule can be a pressure cooker for all professional players and a good start to the campaign is just the ticket to release some much needed steam. Marchese comes into this event having won $1,308,405 in the recent WPT Super High Roller, and can relax as he starts his WSOP schedule. Here he is in action:

The player in the cutoff limped into the pot and Marchese and the big blind both checked. The flop was {K-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} and Marchese decided to take the initiative with a bet of 50. The big blind made the call before a raise from the cutoff forced both blinds to lay down their hands.
